The Reference Department of the Thayer Public Library is organized to help you find specific, factual information on any topic that you may need. Whether a business address or critical review, the book value of a used car or the author of an obscure opera, a professional librarian is always available to assist you

The information available through this department is in the form of books, microfilm, and online computer services. Back issues of magazines and newspapers are available in the Reference Periodicals Storage area. Older issues of Braintree newspapers, dating back to 1881, are available on microfilm.
