Up-to-date phone book and more

ReferenceUSA is a website offered by the library for looking up residential and business information. Much better than any free online phone books, the information in ReferenceUSA is compiled from 4,000 phone books just weeks after they are published.

People and places
Use flexible and creative search tools to find out who lives on your street or in your neighborhood. You may even connect with that long-lost friend or relative. If you are a market researcher, ReferenceUSA gives you valuable information such as median home income and median home value.

Tools for your business
Updated monthly, you can be sure that the business listings are accurate. Compiled from public sources such as government data, SEC filings, telephone directories, annual reports and more, this website is a treasure trove of information for the business owner or entrepreneur. Data includes employee size, names of owners/managers, line of business, sales volume, list of competitors and nearby businesses, and much more.
