What types of books are considered to be reference books in a library?

I am doing a report for school and need to use one reference book as a resource.

Books containing facts that are consulted for greater trust of ones knowledge or opinions. Webster’s defines its root "refer" as to relate or to turn to for information, to transfer something for the attention or action of something else.

The one reference book that I’d use is the Encyclopedia Britannica. If you don’t have that, try World Book.
