How to Become a GPO Partner
Please contact us via askGPO to learn more about how your institution can participate. When submitting a question, select the category, “Partnerships.”
The process is easy. Once you submit your inquiry, a member of GPO’s staff will reach out to coordinate on the specifics of the partnership and then work with your organization to formalize the agreement with a Memorandum of Agreement.
GPO Partner Logos
GPO partner logos are available for use on websites, social media, or in printed educational or promotional materials. Use of the logos is great way to promote your library and convey its important role as an official GPO partner.
