Preface
Results in brief
Background
Some libraries independently decided to close, reduce their hours, or take other actions, but the final network configuration is still uncertain
EPA did not effectively justify its decision to reorganize its library network
EPA did not fully inform or solicit views from the full range of stakeholders on the reorganization but is now increasing its outreach efforts
EPA lacks a strategy to ensure continuity of library services and does not know whether its actions have impaired access to environmental information
EPA program offices are responsible for funding their libraries and their reorganization through their support budgets
Conclusions
Recommendations for executive action
Agency comments.
