Ask a Librarian - General Questions

The Library of Michigan helps many people find the information they need. We answer brief, factual reference questions. (What is the population of Oakland County, Michigan?) If you have a more in-depth question or lengthy research (What information is available about shipping on the Great Lakes?), please visit the Library of Michigan or your local library. Also our Law Library Web site offers information on how to do legal research, please browse through this page if your question is legal in nature.

Our goal is to reply within 2 business days. If you need a quicker response, please call the Library at 517-335-1477 during regular Library hours.

Please fill out the following form. All information provided is kept strictly confidential.

A complete and correct e-mail address is required for us to respond to your question (example librarian@michigan.gov).
