Attention handy men and women: Coquitlam Public Library has a resource for you.
Library patrons can access the Small Engine Repair Reference Centre, an online database of 440 reference books containing information on how to repair lawnmowers, motorcycles, ATVs or boat motors. More than 80,000 small engine repairs are covered, with more than 25 years of various engine models, as well as routine maintenance, such as tune-ups and brake service.
"We are confident the community will find it useful," said Coquitlam reference librarian Jay Peters. "The library also subscribes to the automotive databases AllData and Auto Repair Reference Centre, which are quite popular, and people often ask us about small engine repair."
The library has free use of the database until next September but if its well used, according to Peters, it will consider subscribing to the database past the one-year mark.
To access the online database, go to www.library.coquitlam.bc.ca. A Coquitlam library card is required to log in.
For more information, call 604-937-4144, or visit the City Centre branch (3001 Burlington Dr.) or the Poirier branch (575 Poirier St.).
