Amber, you're going to get some great suggestions but one 'old standby' that 
I still use is Lois Horowitz' "Knowing Where to Look,The Ultimate Guide to 
Research."  A Writers Digest Book, 1986, and not including the Internet as 
we know it today, nonetheless, really helpful.

And you are definitely going to need to know how to help your patrons cite 
their sources.  Among others that she has written, begin with    'Evidence! 
Citation & Analysis for the Family Historian" by Elizabeth Shown Mills.

Those of us who are old timers, even some who are not trained librarians, 
most likely have a batch of books on our private shelves that
could fill the bill.

A good article with reference books noted is Myra Gormley's "Building a 
Dream Library."  http://www.genealogy.com/66_myra.html

Good luck with your project -
