Did you know…?  That we are here for you?

That a librarian can help you find the best information, and find it fast?

That your Giovatto librarians all have a master’s degree in librarianship and that some of them have additional advanced degrees?

That a reference librarian is always scheduled whenever the Library is open?

That you can chat with, or email, a Giovatto reference librarian through the Library web page?
