Looking for a warm and friendly place to “come in from the cold” that many of us are experiencing this winter? To show your appreciation for National Library Lover’s Month, why not visit your local library or check out a library book online?
Libraries provide books, daily newspapers, periodicals, and many online web services to meet your needs. Additionally, it is helpful that professional librarians are available to answer questions about research needed to make your time there all that more productive.
Did you know that the U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) has staff dedicated to promoting the use of Federal Government documents? GPO’s Library Services and Content Management staff oversee the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP).
GPO’s longstanding relationship with the FDLP libraries for cataloging and expanding the use and awareness of Federal agency documents supports our agency mission of Keeping America Informed.
During this month dedicated to all Americans who “Love Libraries” there’s no better time than now to visit one near to you. Given that many of us are cooped up inside hiding from the cold weather, now is a perfect time to catch up on your leisure reading, or get serious about your research needs. Don’t forget to check out our Education & Libraries collection for authoritative resources from various Federal agencies.
We hope you will visit your community library this month and keep https://bookstore.gpo.gov in your web browser for future visits too.
