APPA offers an extensive collection of resources designed to help the facilities professional keep abreast of trends in the field, enhance your performance, and grow professionally.

Facilities Manager is published by APPA, the leading authority on educational facilities management.  Eighty-seven percent of readers rate it as one of the top three must-read industry publication and eighty-three percent of these facilities professionals read the magazine regularly.

Inside APPA is APPA’s biweekly e-newsletter with nearly 6,000 readers depending on timely industry news and events.

The APPA Bookstore features many titles on facilities management as well as popular books that promotes leadership.  Also available is the APPA BOK, the Body of Knowledge, that facilities professionals have relied on for guidance since 1984. The BOK is structured around the four core areas that serve as the foundation of the Institute for Facilities Management and the Educational Facilities Professional (EFP) certification.

APPA's trilogy of popular operational and staffing guidelines publications have been fully updated and expanded. The three books in the Operational Guidelines for Educational Facilities series focus on the critical functions of Custodial, Grounds, and Maintenance.
