Please read the following guidelines before submitting your question: The Library’s email and text Reference Service is designed to answer brief, concise questions that do not require extensive research. Our goal is to reply to all questions within 24 business hours. This service is for email and text reference questions only. You can also apply for a library card online by clicking here.

Genealogy questions are answered as time permits. DCLS does not maintain an extensive genealogy collection, so please visit the DCLS genealogy links first as an alternative. All patron information and questions will be kept confidential by the Dauphin County Library System, and will be used only to contact the patron for additional information or to answer the question.
