GPO'S PHILADELPHIA BOOKSTORE TO CLOSE

The U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) plans to close its Philadelphia bookstore to the public permanently on September 14, 2001. The bookstore is located in the Robert Morris Building at 100 North 17^th Street.

The bookstore will be closed due to significantly reduced sales resulting primarily from the public's increased ability to access Government publications free of charge over the Internet, including most prominently the more than 200,000 Government titles currently available on the GPO's own Web site, GPO Access www.gpo.gov. With declining book sales nationwide, GPO is making changes in its sales program, including its other 20 bookstores. Earlier this year, GPO closed its San Francisco and Boston bookstores and one of its three stores in the Washington, DC, area. Other closings are under consideration.

The closing of the Philadelphia bookstore will not deprive residents in the Philadelphia area of access to U.S. Government publications. Those wishing to buy Government books can link to the U.S. Government Online Bookstore at http://bookstore.gpo.gov. The Online Bookstore's Sales Product Catalog includes all titles available for sale and can be searched by publication title, subject, or keywords. All available titles can be ordered securely online using Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover/Novus credit cards. U.S. Government books can also be ordered toll free by telephone from 866-512-1800, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Eastern time; by fax from 202-512-2250; or by mail from Superintendent of Documents, P.O. Box 371954, Pittsburgh, PA 15250-7954.

Philadelphia area residents can also continue to locate and use U.S. Government books as well as online Government information free of charge in any of their local Federal depository libraries open to the public. In the Philadelphia/Camden area, these Federal depository collections are located at:
