Ask a Librarian

Do you have an easy-to-answer question that doesn't require a trip to the library? An experienced professional can give you an answer to a brief, factual question when you use our Ask a Librarian feature.


Note: Our chat reference service can also answer library account/holds-related questions Monday-Friday 9am-6pm.


Send your question from any location. Inquiries will be answered in the order they are received.


Talk with a BPL librarian from home.

Live Homework Help is a new library service that allows students to connect to live tutors in 20-minute one-on-one sessions in the areas of math, science, social studies and English.


Sample questions our service was designed to answer:
Who was the 16th president?
What is the atomic number of magnesium?
How much is my used car worth?

This project was supported in part by Federal Library Services and Technology Act funds, awarded to The New York Library by the Federal Institute of Museum and Library Services.
