Greener lawns have officially heralded in spring. Customers may go to mow the new grass only to find out the mower’s engine isn’t working. This week’s database highlight, Small Engine Repair Reference Center [1], is here to help. Within the outdoor power equipment category, the urban and rural gardener will find repair guides and information. Browse by category or search by keyword.

This reference database provides detailed yet user-friendly repair guides for all manner of small engines. All of the content is organized in a powerful, easy-to-use manner so that users can quickly find the information they need. – from the vendor

What if a customer finds the repair diagram they need but they don’t have a printer at home? This week’s open site, PrinterOn [2], allows customers to upload a file they need printed then pick it up at the library. There’s no extra charge for this service. Customers can either print via the website or download the free app for iOS/Android.
