Library
Paper Library ............................................................................................................................................................
The Center receives a wide range of periodicals and publications related to public works and transportation in general. We also have access to the Statewide Planning library, which has more general planning and transportation periodicals.

Library hours are generally 8:30 am to 3:30 pm Monday through Friday.
Periodicals & Magazines All the periodicals are kept for at least the previous 12 months although there are gaps in the collection. Generally the available space dictates how long a periodical is kept.

These publications are available for loan, or if there is a specific article of interest we can send you a photocopy of the article, keeping in mind the copyright laws.
