Consumer Reports

Are you looking to make a big purchase this spring and want to compare the ratings? Many patrons come to the library and check out our issues of Consumer Reports but did you know the library provides access to a Consumer Reports database online? That means you can do your research without leaving your home! In addition to finding ratings and reviews for a wide variety of products, you can also find information about recalls and safety and consumer news.


To get to Consumer Reports online, go to ww.pdslibrary.org/resources/databases.html and choose Consumer Reports from the alphabetical list. You will then need to enter your complete library card number to proceed. Please contact the library staff if you have questions about using this resource.
