All month long: A display case of library artifacts will be available throughout April in the NOAA Library in Silver Spring.

As an agency with mandates to use the “best available science” the Library takes great pride in providing access and services directly fulfilling those mandates. We are an integral part of NOAA’s science support and our staff work tirelessly to ensure smooth access to our resources, databases, physical collection, NOAA’s Institutional Repository, and library services. We love supporting NOAA’s ever-growing portfolio of science and service!
