The N.H. State Library is a depository for printed publications issued by all state agencies and designated legislative publications. These print publications include any "document, compilation, register, pamphlet, list, book, report, memorandum, hearing, leaflet, order, regulation, directory, periodical, or serial issued by state constitutional officers, or any department, division, commission or other agency of the state."

All executive agencies of the state government are required by law, RSA 202-B, to provide the N.H. State Library with 25 copies for the depository. In addition to the three copies housed at the State Library, copies are sent to 21 depository sites throughout New Hampshire and one copy goes to the Library of Congress.

It is important to provide copies of state documents to the State Library because not only does it make this information available to any one who needs it, it also ensures that a copy will always be available to your agency. If you have questions about the State Document Depository Program, call Eleanor O'Donnell at 271-2429.
