Library News
Keep up to date with what's going on in the library. Read about new books,
websites and databases. Find out about exhibits, changes in services and even
some AECOM history. Each month the library publishes a newsletter, where you
can find short feature articles plus our monthly schedule of classes, holiday
hours, and contact information.
