Do you often wish you had more time to answer questions that require extensive research?

Do you have a building renovation project deadline coming due?

Are you bogged down with paperwork and cannot find the time to prepare for an upcoming presentation?

Library staff have research and information needs too! Did you know Amigos can help?

Staff in member libraries can receive advice and brief consultations on all aspects of library operations from Amigos' knowledgeable and experienced staff. This service, exclusively for Amigos Members and free of charge, includes advice, referral, and resources delivered by phone and e-mail.

Amigos Library Support Service staff members have answered questions dealing with a wide range of subjects, from building construction, floor planning, renovation, and RDA cataloging to imaging and preservation. We’re hearing good things about the service from libraries we’ve helped:

"This is such a valuable service for libraries. It is comforting knowing that libraries have a "life line" connecting us to knowledgeable library professionals when we need professional advice or help."

"I am so pleased to be working with your organization. I am spearheading an effort to build a new library and have no real experience or expertise in this area. You and your associates do! Knowing that your organization is available for consultation and advice has given me confidence. Thanks!"

"I can't say enough about how incredible this support is!"

The service is available by phone, e-mail, or web contact form from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Central Time, Monday through Friday, at:
