2010 brings the 150th Anniversary of the Federal Depository Collection of Government Documents at Hewes Library and Monmouth College. Throughout 2010, portions of the Government Documents Collection will be featured.
In 1860, Congress authorized the Federal Depository Library Program which ensured that citizens had access to all information that was being produced by the government. Today, there are over 1,250 depository libraries throughout the country and they provide access to a wide variety of information. Citizens can go to any depository library to access information from the Census, any executive department, or get help looking for electronic goverment documents.
