Need information fast? Ask a reference librarian!

For immediate response and for more detailed questions, contact the Reference Desk during Library hours at 847-253-5675 and after hours until midnight at 847-635-8746. Whenever possible, the Reference Desk staff will respond to questions received from Monday through Thursday within 24 hours; questions received over the weekend may require a longer response time. If your browser does not support forms, you can e-mail us directly at reference@mppl.org.

Your Question

We will answer short, factual questions not requiring extensive research. Please give us as much background information for your question as possible. Telling us which sources you have already tried can help us answer more quickly. If you will not need the answer after a certain time, please include that information as well. Please do not send attachments. A librarian may contact you for more information if necessary.

Your Contact Information

Please include your phone number (with area code) and/or e-mail address, depending on how you prefer to be contacted. If you are available only by phone, please be advised that we cannot call outside the Chicagoland area.





All information you send will be handled in a confidential manner.
