Fintel Library is a "federal depository library".  In 1886, it was designated by Congress to provide access to U.S. government publications.  All depository material remains the property of the Federal government.

As one of the seven depository Libraries in Virginia's 6th congressional district, we are backed up by the University of Virginias Library which is the "Regional Library" for our state.
