“Research means that you don't know, but are willing to find out.” - Charles F. Kettering
Whether you have a specific question or you are working on a school assignment, the library is a great place to begin your research. The library provides full-text access to many newspaper, magazine and journal articles. When you have a question, librarians are available in person, by telephone, by e-mail and through instant messaging. Subject Guides reflect topics of interest to our customers and include Business & Investment, Community Resources, Find a Job, Topeka Information, Genealogy & Local History, Health & Wellness, Home & Gardening, and Travel. These guides are updated frequently to bring you recommended library, community and Internet resources.
