Are you trying to save money by repairing and maintaining your own car? If so, you should take a look at the Logan Library's Auto Repair Reference Center. This resource provides online access to over 28,000 auto repair manuals. The online manuals are available for import and domestic models and contain:

• Drawings and step-by-step photographs.
• Technical service bulletins and recalls.
• Wiring diagrams.
• Specifications and maintenance schedules.

Go to our Auto Repair Reference Center subscription to obtain a manual or read the FAQ for more information. A Logan Library card is required for access to Auto Repair Reference Center outside of the Library.

Are you looking to buy a new car? Is your washing machine on its last leg? Perhaps you want to save a few dollars at the grocery store? Chances are that if you are interested in doing any of these things that you would turn to Consumer Reports magazine, one of the most trusted resources for information and advice on consumer products. In fact, Consumer Reports magazine is one of the most popular resources that the library provides.


But did you know that you don't have to visit the library to use Consumer Reports? That's right, the Logan Library provides free online access to the Consumer Reports website, consumerreports.org. This is the largest paid subscription-based website in the world with 3.3 million paying subscribers. However, with your Logan Library card you can access all of the content on consumerreports.org without any paid subscription fees. Remember to get free access to the Consumer Reports website, you must access it through the Electronic Databases page on the Logan Library website. A Logan Library card number and pin number are required for access outside of the library.

The Logan Library is now offering access to World Vital Records. This database has family history, genealogy information and genealogy research training.
