Chat With a Librarian 24/7

Answerland is an online reference service provided by Oregon's libraries. You may chat live with a librarian or e-mail your question. (Note: Because the Answerland service is staffed by Oregon librarians as well as backup librarians around the country, you may not be chatting with a local librarian.)

If you want to get in touch directly with the West Linn Library, you can e-mail us at wlref@lincc.org. We try to respond with 24 hours.
