EPA Libraries

Thanks to Laura Orr at Oregon Legal Research
Press release from the American Library Association (ALA) here:“This week, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was ordered by Congress to re-open many of its libraries that had been closed over the course of the past year, as written into the fiscal year 2008 omnibus appropriations bill sent to President Bush this week.EPA must “restore the network of EPA libraries recently closed or consolidated by the Administration...” and report on its plans to “restore publicly available libraries to provide environmental information and data to each EPA region...”

More on the EPA Libraries

From the LLSDC Listserv:

Restored EPA Budget Holds Hope for Libraries and Labs

On June 7, the House Appropriations Committee approved a $27.6 billion Interior-Environment spending bill that increases the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) FY 2008 budget to $8.1 billion, a $361 million increase over current spending.

It is also $887 million more than President Bush's budget request, which will likely trigger a veto threat. The appropriations bill currently allocates $788 million for core scientific research. This may be welcome news for EPA's network of libraries and laboratories, which have suffered from downsizing attempts in anticipation of significant 2008 budget cuts.

The budget restoration may allow EPA to abandon its controversial plans for closings and consolidations.
