Crossword help has arrived!

Some of us are not good at crosswords. We need all the help we can get. The library is here to help.

The Oxford English Dictionary is the last word on words. The library owns a copy of the 20 volume set, but they are reference books that can't be checked out. And they are heavy!

But now you can look up words from any computer. Need an 6-letter word for an animal that starts with z and ends with a y? Login to OED Online and type: z????y for the list of possible answers.

Use your library card number to login to this page and get the username and password for online access to the Oxford English Dictionary.
