GPO staffers took to the streets of Washington, DC to interview the public and find out how much they know about the FDLP. View GPO's Person on the Street interviews here:

The U.S. Government Printing Office provides promotional materials at no charge to Federal Depository Libraries to increase public awareness of the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP).

Many critical calls for help with marketing the services and benefits of FDLs and the FDLP have been made by the Depository Library Council and depository librarians throughout the country. In response to these calls, GPO is proposing a variety of marketing strategies and activities.

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.

Celebrate, Reflect, and Promote your Library

Be it for one year or one hundred years, anniversaries provide excellent opportunities to promote your library and the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) with public displays and events. They are a time to celebrate and a time to reflect past achievements, recognize present achievements, and announce or re-emphasize future plans.

GPO is proud to serve these libraries in their long-term commitment to making Federal Government information available to the public through the FDLP. GPO has developed and collected a variety of tips and suggestions in order to help your depository celebrate your milestone, reflect on your library’s evolution, and promote your library’s resources and services.

FDLP logo graphics are provided for use on your Web site or for use in printed educational and public relations materials you develop. The graphics are available in a variety of formats, depending on whether the images are needed for print or electronic format. Files have been compressed in zip format for easier download.

The Federal Depository Library User Feedback Form offers your library and GPO another opportunity to receive feedback directly from library users about the use and effectiveness of the FDLP. This form targets online researchers and complements other feedback mechanisms in use such as GPO’s toll-free phone number and askGPO.
