Government Information at Middletown Thrall Library

Government Information - Middletown Thrall Library, a Federal Depository serving the 22nd Congressional District

For more information please see our GovSites web guide.

Introduction

In 1986, through the efforts of the Honorable Benjamin Gilman and Director, Mattie Gaines, Middletown Thrall Library was designated a Federal Selective Depository Library, providing free public access to government information, in a variety of formats, for the residents of the 22nd Congressional District.

Our collection is strong in the following subject areas: health, education, criminal justice, small business, military history and legal resources including the CFR, Federal Register, Daily Congressional Record and Congressional Hearings. Periodicals, such as FDA Consumer, Environmental Health Perspectives, Marines, Agricultural Research, English Teaching Forum and more are available for check out in paper and viewing online. Our library catalog includes HotLinks to timely electronic only government documents as well as older, historically valuable information.

Middletown Thrall Library is also a New York State Documents Reference Center representing the Southeastern Reference and Research Library Resources region. We retain a "core list" of New York State documents including the New York State Register, Vital Statistics and the budget.

Remember, much of the collection circulates! To learn more about what types of information you might find in Government Documents, click here for our tour.
