The Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) was established by Congress to ensure that the American public has access to its Government’s information. The FDLP provides Government information at no cost to designated depository libraries. These depository libraries collect, organize, maintain, preserve, and assist users with information from the Federal Government in its various formats.

Eight North Dakota libraries are part of the national Federal Depository Library Program and receive federal government information in various formats. The State Plan outlines goals for North Dakota depository libraries. The State Plan is currently a draft and has not yet been ratified by the North Dakota depository libraries.
