We’ve written about online databases for quite some time and we’re very excited that ChiltonLibrary.com is now available, free – at no cost to you! Public librarians throughout the state combined resources from the 2006 Legislative Funding Amendment and purchased three new databases. ChiltonLibrary.com is one of those and one that we are sure will be well used. Stop in to find out more about this tool for your auto repair needs. It’s accessible from any internet connection as long as you have your library card number and PIN and there are thousands of year, make and model combinations plus coverage of specialty models.
