Ask the Librarian at Ridgewater College
Submit a question and a librarian will get back to you as soon as possible. On weekdays, during the academic semester, you will receive a reply within hours, and on weekends and holidays, you will receive a response on the next school day.
The library’s email reference service is not intended to be an in-depth research service. For complex questions, please visit the reference desk in person.
In Person
