Are you looking for a new car? How about a used car? Or maybe you just need to repair the car you have. The Northfield library can help. The following links give you information on buying a new or used car or repairing the car you have.Consumer Reports - The library has two subscriptions to Consumer Reports - one you can check out and one at the reference desk. The magazine reviews cars all year but the April issue is the big car buying issue. (The April 2011 issue is AVAILABLE!). Consumer Reports is also available online through EBSCO, one of the library databases.
