Some topics can be hard to talk about. If you are not comfortable asking for help, you can browse the Library shelves on your own using the catalog or the call numbers listed by topic on this page and on bookmarks at the Library.
If you are comfortable asking for help, your Librarians are available to point you to books and resources. You can check out books from any section of the Library, no matter your age. We have self-checkouts for your convenience and privacy. Your checkout records are private and will not be shared.
