Depository Library Program. Being a selective
depository for the 3rd

of the material the federal government publishes in print, electronic and

Passport Services at the Library
The Chattanooga Hamilton County Bicentennial Library has recently been designated
an official Passport Application Acceptance Agency by the U.S. Department
of State. After training staff, the Business, Science & Technology department
will be accepting passport applications from the public in March 2006.
Because of increased security, beginning in January 2007, U.S. citizens traveling
by air or sea outside the country will need to show a passport to re-enter
the United States, including trips made on cruise ships. In January 2008,
land crossings into Canada and Mexico will also be included. This means a
big increase in the number of passports that will be issued. Details are
available on the U.S. Department of State website http://travel.state.gov/.
For more information, please see our Passport
Services Page or contact our information line @ 757-5310.

Ways you can help the Library
 |
The library world has changed dramatically. With the introduction of computers, libraries have become more than just books. In order for CHCBL to thrive in our community the library must stay updated and equipped to meet many different challenges. While grants and other funding resources have helped, there are still materials and resources that the library system needs assistance to continue to carry. |
