ARE Study Guides and Architect's Handbook of Professional Practice available at the Louisville Free Public Library

​The AIA/CKC recently purchased a copy of the Architect's Handbook of Professional Practice (15th edition) and donated the copy to the Louisville Free Public Library.  In response to a recent request.  The intent was to make this book available to candidates studying for the ARE although this book may be checked out by anyone with a library card.   Click Here for a link to info on the book at LFPL.
​
Also, as a reminder, the ARE Study Guides (version 4.0) were purchased about three years ago by the chapter and donated at the Louisville Free Public Library for use by candidates studying for the ARE.  These study guides are still available.  Click Here for a link to the info on the ARE Study Guides.
 
Please pass this information along to architectural interns you know studying for the ARE!
