Make the Most of Your Library: Use the ASK Button |
|
Our website provides a catalog of all of our library materials, including books, movies, music, and more. You can also find downloadable eBooks and audiobooks, as well as access an extensive suite of research databases.
But what do you do if you can't find what you're looking for, or if something doesn't work the way you expect?
Just like at your local library, the solution is to ask a Librarian! Just click the "Ask" button at the lower left side of our homepage and fill out the online form. Send us a description of what you need or what went wrong, and staff at Pinal County Library District will get back to you by phone or email (your choice) to help troubleshoot and resolve the issue. Please note that staff is only available during regular office hours, Monday-Friday, 8AM to 5PM. Questions submitted after hours or on weekends will be answered the following business day.
