Yes, you can ask a San Francisco librarian for assistance from the comfort of your home by using the San Francisco Public Library Text & Chat Reference Service. The service is available during all San Francisco Main Library hours. If your questions are more in depth, they will be forwarded as an email to a Librarian Specialist, based on the topic of your question. The specialists aim to give a response within 2 days.
