Excerpt
Excerpt: The U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) plans to close its Chicago bookstore to the public permanently on January 11, 2002. The bookstore is located in the Robert Morris Building at 401 South State Street. The bookstore will be closed due to significantly reduced sales resulting primarily from the public’s increased ability to access Government publications free of charge over the Internet, including most prominently the more than 200,000 Government titles currently available on the GPO’s own Web site, GPO Access. With declining book sales nationwide, GPO is making changes in its sales program, including its other 19 bookstores. In 2001, GPO closed its San Francisco, Boston and Philadelphia bookstores, as well as one of its three stores in the Washington, D.C., area. Other closings are under consideration.
