From Chapter 9: Housing

Because all Government publications supplied to your depository library under the FDLP remain the property of the U.S. Government, publications MUST be housed in a manner that facilitates access, preservation, and protection from theft. Your depository library MUST, at a minimum, provide the same care and maintenance of depository materials as it gives to commercially purchased publications.

Your depository library MUST post the depository emblem in a prominent location, preferably visible from the exterior of the library, indicating the library is a Federal depository and Government information products are available for use by the general public without charge.

All facilities housing depository materials should meet the standards set forth in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
