Federal Depository Library Program

The Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) is a government initiative that ensures the public has free access to federal government information. Established in 1895, it partners with libraries across the country, providing them with official documents, reports, and resources from various government agencies. These libraries serve as local access points for citizens to explore topics like legislation, research, and statistics. By promoting transparency and accessibility, the FDLP supports informed citizenship and empowers individuals to engage with their government and society effectively.
