Ask a Librarian

Our professionally staffed library serves as a clearinghouse for information produced by and about cities and provides reference and survey services. The library staff addresses inquiries for information using our in-house resources, on-campus libraries, resources found on the Internet, and other libraries across the country. Surveys for MTAS consultants and city officials are conducted by the library staff to collect unique information on municipal government not available from other sources.
