The Downey City Library participates in the "AskNow"
program. AskNow is a project of the Metropolitan Cooperative Library
System (MCLS), supported by Federal LSTA funding, administered by the California
State Library. To find out more about the project, please visit the website at
www.asknow.org.
MCLS is an association of 31 independent city and special district public libraries
located in the greater Los Angeles area, which have agreed to cooperate in providing
library service to the residents of all participating jurisdictions. MCLS provides
member libraries a resource-sharing network and a means for enhancing the level
and diversity of resources available to library users, while reducing duplication
of effort. To find out more about MCLS, please visit the MCLS website www.mcls.org.
Staff:
The AskNow service is staffed by local reference librarians, MCLS reference
librarians, and library school graduate students hired by the Metropolitan
Cooperative Library System (MCLS). When you click on the AskNow
logo, the librarian who answers your question may or may not be a librarian
at the Downey City Library. When the MCLS librarian is unable to provide
you with the information you need, we will refer either you or your question
to the Downey City Library, the MCLS Reference Center, an expert, or another
library that can provide the needed information.
