Are you aware that the Nashua Public Library is a Federal Depository Library? The Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) was established by Congress to ensure that the American public has access to its government's information. Since 1813, depository libraries have collected, organized, maintained and preserved information from the Federal Government, and have assisted users with that information. The FDLP provides Government information at no cost to designated depository libraries throughout the country and territories. These depository libraries, in turn, provide local, no-fee access to the information. There are currently nearly 1,250 depository libraries.

The collections consist of information on careers, business opportunities, consumer information, health and nutrition, homeland security, legal and regulatory information, demographics, census and numerous other subjects. Some recent additions to our government document collection are:

American Military History – The United States Army and the Forging of a Nation, 1775-1917
