GPO FDLP Meetings

Depository Library Council (DLC)

The Depository Library Council to the Public Printer meets twice a year, in the spring and fall. These 3-day meetings, attended by Federal depository library staff and other information professionals, are the largest gatherings devoted to U.S. government information in the country.

  The spring DLC meeting is typically geared towards planning sessions with the Council members. Additional educational sessions are presented by depository librarians and Federal agency staff.

  The fall DLC meeting is held in conjunction with the Federal Depository Library Conference. Discussions of FDLP issues and multiple educational sessions run on four tracks, geared for a wide range of experience and interests.
