Since 1963, the Oak Park Public Library has been designated a depository for United States government publications in order to make them available to all residents of the 7th Congressional district. The United States government is one of the most prolific publishers in the world; the Library receives approximately 18% of what is available. Over the years, the variety of formats has increased. Although documents in paper still exist, a large portion of documents are now created electronically.
