AmericanWhat are "blue pages"?
Blue pages refer to the section of a phone book or directory that lists businesses, government agencies, and other organizations, rather than personal phone numbers. They are usually found after the white pages, which contain residential listings, and are organized alphabetically by the name of the business or organization. Blue pages help people find contact information for various services, offices, or institutions in their area. In some regions, blue pages are also available online through digital directories or search engines.
Examples
I looked up the phone number for the local library in the blue pages of the directory.
