The library maintains a collection of books, journals, reference materials and research reports related to the work of the DEP and serves as a permanent repository for the agency’s scientific publications. Two full-time library staff, including a librarian and library associate provide reference services, document retrieval, literature searches and interlibrary loans.

The library is supported by DEP and the Division of Science and Research and functions as a branch of the NJ State Library, the main library for New Jersey State Government and Thomas Edison State University.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes”][vc_column width=”1/3″][info-box-shortcode title=”Request items” buttontitle=”Request Items” buttonlink=”https://deptest.nj.gov/library/contact/” bgimg=”63″]DEP staff can request books, articles or other materials directly from the DEP Library.
