Welcome to Reference Services at the Petoskey District Library. The library's reference collection includes standard tools such as encyclopedias, manuals and handbooks, almanacs and directories, as well as a variety of specialized reference books. Reference staff is available to assist patrons during library hours. Patrons may ask a reference question in person at the library, by telephone at 231-758-3114, by fax at 231-758-3117 or online by clicking the Ask-A-Librarian button above. Online requests will be responded to promptly, usually within 2 business days. Our Web Guide offers links to a comprehensive list of internet sites used by the staff. An Assignment Alert form allows teachers from local schools to inform the staff of upcoming topics of study and research assignments.
