Stuck? With the Library closed due to the COVID-19 outbreak, we’re not able to immediately answer for phone calls for assistance with digital resources. However, each resource has tutorials about its use. If, after that, you are still having trouble, email us at wlamb@mountain-home.us. Describe the issue and provide your contact information (include an email address and phone number). A staff member will be in touch.
