Information and Reference Services
All Solihull libraries have a wide range of information resources and reference books, from encyclopaedias, dictionaries and directories to CD-ROMs and the Internet.
All libraries have a photocopying facility and fax service.
All libraries have free, internet access computers so you can access information yourself. You can book time on a PC with your library card.
Solihull Central Library provides the most comprehensive information service and specialist staff to help you, but you can access information at any library. If the information you need isn't available from your local library, staff can ask the Central Library to send it through for you.
The Virtual Reference Library
Solihull Library Service subscribes to major online information resources you can access via the Internet. You can use them free of charge at the library, and in most cases you can also use them at home or work, at any time of day or night. All you need is your library card number.
