By September 1, 2003, the U.S. Government Printing Office will be closing
all of its bookstores nationwide, except for the main bookstore in Washington,
DC, which will undergo reconfiguration. The retail sales outlet in Laurel
will remain in operation to service bookdealers picking up from the
co-located warehouse facility only. The closures result from an overall
decline in sales due to the dramatic increase in access to government
information on the Internet and the shift from walk-in traffic at bookstores
to purchases from the U.S. Government Online Bookstore. The bookstore
closing schedule is as follows:
- August 1, 2003 -- Los Angeles, Denver, Pueblo, Detroit, and Milwaukee
- August 29, 2003 -- Atlanta, Jacksonville, Houston, and Pittsburgh
Atlanta | Denver
| Detroit | Houston
| Jacksonville | Laurel
Los Angeles | Milwaukee
| Pittsburgh
| Pueblo | Washington,
DC
