Federal Depository Library Program
FDLP's mission is to "provide free, ready, and permanent public access to Federal Government information, now and for future generations."
The Kansas City Public Library was designated as a Federal depository library in 1881.
The U.S. Congress first authorized the distribution of Government documents to universities, historical societies, and state libraries in 1813. The U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) has overseen the FDLP since 1895. Currently, over 1,100 libraries across the nation are members of the FDLP. For more information about the FDLP, visit FDLP.gov.
