Not only does the library have tons of great books about pie, but you can Ask a Librarian any question any time of day, any day of the year! We can help if you’re just beginning your assignment and not sure where to start, help you find information, help you evaluate what you’re seeing, help with citations, and so much more. In addition to research questions, we can also help you find a book to read or movie to watch for fun, or help you find the right person to ask if you’re not even sure who your question is for, or if the resource/service you’re looking for is available at Clark.
