GPO is looking for individuals to be selected on the basis of their expertise and experience.

Council members must be able to devote time and effort in taking an active role in discussions of complex issues related to the future of the FDLP. All Council members are expected to participate in the annual Federal Depository Library Conference; an annual Depository Library Council Virtual Meeting; monthly conference calls with GPO; and other discussions, working groups, and events as needed.
