What is a Depository Library?

The Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) started in the mid-1800s. The FDLP makes available to the public no-fee access to information produced by Federal agencies. Materials received "on deposit" are kept permanently by regional libraries.

Access is through the approximately 1,200 depository libraries located throughout the United States and its possessions.

Depository libraries ensure no-fee access to government information.
