Do you find that you never have the right phone book handy? Or, seaching the web doesn't give you the information you are looking for? Use your Wilton library card to enter the magical world of Reference USA.

The Residential section will give you phone numbers, addresses, listings of neighbors, maps and more for anyone you are looking for (as long as they are "listed").

The Business section gives you access to addresses, phone numbers, number of employees, sales volume, web addresses, toll free numbers, fax numbers, stock information, EDGAR filing information, business profiles, Competitors Reports, UCC filings, Management Directory, other lines of business and more.

The Health Care section gives you information about physicians and dentists, including age, gender, type of practice, state of license, board certification, primary specialty, medical school, year of graduation, patients per week, address, phone number, name of office manager, hospital affiliation, and more.

Wilton Library subscribes to Reference USA so that Wilton residents may access it for free from anywhere in the world. All you need is Internet access and your Wilton Library card.

If you have any questions or would like more information on how to use this database, please contact Mary Anne Mendola Franco, Head of Network Services, at 203-762-3950, Ext. 210.

Have you noticed the new machine temporarily living at the Circulation Desk? Come try out our new One Stop Self Check Station! Save time and avoid any lines.

Of course we are always available at the Circulation Desk to check out your items, settle fees, or just say hello.
