The new Homework Help Now! database, debuting on November 1, can connect your little mathematicians with a live tutor who can help them with their algebra (or chemistry or geometry or biology or writing or social studies or physics, etc)! A student can either request generic help with their homework or they can narrow in on specific concepts, e.g. solving linear equations.

We've recently changed the software we use to provide lists of new materials, and now provide two different services to help you find new books, movies, and more. The first is called NextReads, and takes the place of our old BookLetters service.

You can access our searchable event guide through our website. From the home page, click on Classes and Events at the top of the screen. It will show a calendar of the current month, as well as a list of any and all programs going on throughout the Tulsa City County Library system for that day. You can select different days of the month to see what's coming up on a particular date. You can even select a whole week or month at a time by clicking the arrow buttons on the left side of the calendar.

I want to write a letter to my Congressmen, both in Oklahoma City and D.C. How can I find out who represents my area?

You can find the Gov Docs collection by going to the Research & Learn drop down menu and selecting Government. Once there, select ‘Government Frequently Asked Questions'.
