NEW EPA LIBRARY FACILITIES OPEN IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

September 19, 2002

EPA has opened new library facilities at its Federal Triangle complex in Washington, D.C. The new libraries will house the Agency's four important collections in one central location to provide the American public with easier access to environmental information resources. The four collections are: Headquarters Environmental Management and Policy, the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics Chemical Library, Pollution Prevention Information Center and the INFOTERRA/USA international environmental resource. There are study carrels, Internet terminals and staffed information desks to assist the public in each library. The new libraries hold 40,000 volumes and are just a portion of the over 300,000 volumes that EPA has in its National Network of Environmental Libraries.
