The Salem Public Library Reference Staff are happy to take your questions. We are available in person or by phone during library hours. Stop by the Information/Reference Desk or call at 503-588-6052. You can also email a question to using the form below. While we check our email daily, if you have an urgent request, we suggest you call or come by.

Please be aware that the structure of email makes it somewhat difficult to answer in-depth reference questions. We are happy to answer factual questions or suggest places to look. In some cases, we may email or call you for more information.

For Reference assistance that is available 24/7, try L-Net, a chat-type reference service made available through the cooperative efforts of libraries throughout Oregon.
