Information 24/7
Having access to information 24/7 is what the promise of the Internet is all about. But if your Google search is unwieldy and Ask Jeeves just doesn’t have the answer, you can go online to the Mass Answers link at the Worcester Public Library website and ask a question of a librarian 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The request is live and there really is a librarian at the other end who uses a wide variety of sources to help you. So even a librarian from Hawaii can help you find things locally. The librarian will even send a follow-up e-mail to be sure you got the help you need. This service will also refer you to legal librarians or medical librarian if you want specialized information. This is a wonderful service and you do not need a library card to use it. So if you are stuck for information at the odd time and you don’t have someone available to ask in person, try the Mass Answers 24/7 . If you try the service early afternoons, you will likely get the great staff at the Worcester Public Library as that is the shift they work. Tell them Mrs. Wargo sent you!
