When it comes to auto repair, “do-it-yourselfers,” students and automotive enthusiasts have trusted Chilton repair manuals for years.

Now, with a library card from any branch of the Linebaugh Public Library System, you can have these authoritative manuals available to 24/7 wherever you have an internet connection.

“When our Gale representative approached me with their new online product, I knew this was something our community would love,” said Carol Ghattas, Linebaugh’s branch librarian. “It is my hope that patrons who try ChiltonLibrary will talk about it with friends. I’m relying on our patrons to be our biggest promoters for this resource.”

Unlike the printed editions, the content available on ChiltonLibrary is updated on a monthly basis, ensuring the most advanced and up-to-date information available. This resource will be easy to use no matter the skill level.

Users of ChiltonLibrary will benefit from the following:

• Direct integration with eBay Motors helps users locate hard-to-find parts
• Repair, maintenance and specification tables provide critical data on thousands of domestic and imported models from 1940 onward
• Detailed, step-by-step instructions that provide a one-stop source for answers

• Videos and animated graphics that show how to complete repairs
• Close-up photographs and illustrations provide strong visual support
• Vacuum and wiring diagrams to help explain complex system operation
