It depend on what you are researching. The search engine Thomas available through the Library of Congress' website will give you access to a ton of public policy documents. Search engines like Lexis-Nexis will give you access to newspaper articles, court rulings, and professional journals. Your local or university library might subscribe to it. Scholar.google.com is another great free site to find citations to reputable journals to get through inter-library loan. As far as books, look for a university library that has a law school (go to the law library) or a public policy masters or doctoral program. They should have them.
Traditionally public policy isn't written about in books unless it is a history of... because it is constantly changing. Journals and government documents are normally much more up to date and you can normally access them via your computer.

Depends on what public. City hall, county court house, library, and newspaper archieves would be best.
If you told us more I could be more specific but all those places have such information.
