Chat with a librarian
The aim of AnyQuestions is to teach students valuable skills so they can find the information they need — rather than just giving them answers to their questions.
Using online chat, an AnyQuestions librarian explores a question or topic that a student is researching, then works alongside them to guide them to appropriate online resources.

Information for parents and teachers
