Central Coast Section Planning Awards

Planning Library Donated

The California Central Coast Section of the American Planning Association recently donated a collection of 32 new planning books to local libraries. The new collection will provide educational and informative land use planning resources to the public, as well as practicing planners, planning commissioners, elected officials, and students. The collection is available in public libraries in San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura counties through the Black Gold inter-library loan system. For convenience to planning students at Cal Poly, the Kennedy Library collection has been augmented to provide the same 32 titles.

The following is a list of the 32 titles that were donated.
