You are now able to interact
with a Reference Librarian 24 hours a day/7 days a week
through a service provided by the Illinois
State Library called AskAway Illinois. AskAway is an
online reference service that opens the vast resources
of Illinois’s libraries to all residents, no matter when
they need information. The AskAway answering service is
staffed by the 24/7 Reference Consortium, a group of
hundreds of librarians across the country who work
together to provide this service. Local Illinois
librarians contribute time to the consortium and local
residents benefit from the expanded service. Starting in
January, you can access the service by clicking on the
AskAway icon on the Crete Public Library’s website
(www.cretelibrary.org), and you can choose to interact
either with an emailed question that will be answered
within 48 hours or through a real-time instant messaging
session.

Due to
many requests, we
have also added to our
collection the New York Times
Book Review and a new magazine
called Bookmarks, which reviews
new books which might be of
interest to our readers. More
magazines to come soon. Leave
your suggestions at the
Reference Desk!
In case
you didn’t know, you
can now pay for your fines and
lost books online through the
SWAN system's Ecommerce service.
Login to your account on SWAN
(the online catalog) from any
Web accessible computer and use
your credit card to pay your
account. Sorry, debit cards are
not accepted at this time.
We are
increasing our CD
audiobook collection, especially
our unabridged selection since
more patrons seem to prefer
those.
