Using our theme, "Easy As FDL: Free Information, Dedicated Service, and Limitless Possibilities", this video demonstrates what makes Federal depository libraries so unique and essential to the American public. People who are dedicated to and knowledgeable about the FDLP were interviewed and asked to express their opinions about Federal depository libraries and how the FDLP benefits the American public.

This video is available for you to distribute as you choose. Post it to your library’s Web site, various social media sites, social networking sites, or in your presentations. You may also ask local government offices and educational institutions to place it on their Web sites.

This is the first of several upcoming FDLP promotional videos. GPO will be using this and subsequent videos in staff presentations and for distribution. It is a highly effective tool when used in conjunction with the new marketing plan in our efforts to promote the FDLP.

GPO wishes to thank the stars of the first video for their participation:

  • Mary Alice Baish
  • Andie Craley
  • Jeff Elliott
  • Tim Morton
  • Barbie Selby
  • Bill Sleeman
