Follow up to previous postings on the EPA library closures, news today via AP: “The Environmental Protection Agency plans to reopen five closed libraries to the public by this fall, the agency said in a report Thursday. Three of the EPA’s 10 regional libraries and two libraries at the agency’s Washington headquarters were closed because of limited public use and resources being available online, EPA officials had said. The closings prompted criticism from lawmakers. The EPA said in a report to Congress that it expects the closed agency libraries in Chicago, Dallas and Kansas City, Mo., as well as at its Washington headquarters to be reopened by Sept. 30 and possibly earlier. Congress added $1 million to the EPA’s budget so that the libraries could be reopened. It also required the agency to provide the report on its library plans.”
