Established in 1813, the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) provides the public with government information, when and where it is needed, in order to ensure an informed citizenry and an improved quality of life. The mission of the FDLP is to provide free, ready and permanent public access to Federal Government Information
Federal Government information, in both print and electronic formats, is distributed to over 1,150 Federal Depository Libraries throughout the United States, the District of Columbia, and U. S. territories. These libraries in turn, make this information freely available to the public and provide assistance in navigating the materials. WWCC has been a Federal Depository Library since 1969.
