    The Fault in Our Stars 

    by, John Green

    Registration for this event is not required but if you have any questions please contact a member of the ReferenceQuestions that you ask of library staff that require knowledge of the content of the collection or other resources such as those on the web. Sometimes you are referred to the answer, hence Reference. Reference can also refer to our reference materials that are often encyclopedic books that have many volumes and a concentrated number of facts and/or statistics. These materials usually have an overnight loan period so they are available in the library most of the time. Desk staff at 235-7616 or you may email them at refdesk@schlowlibrary.org
