Abstract
Congressman Vernon J. Ehlers will present the Calvin College Hekman Library with a commemorative plaque from the Government Printing Office. Refreshments for the occasion will be a sampler of treats made from recipes found in government documents. Designation as a federal depository library is a distinction allowed to only two libraries in any given congressional district. The Hekman Library gained federal depository status in 1967 through the invitation of Gerald R. Ford, then congressman of the 5th District where Calvin's Franklin campus was located. Currently, the Hekman serves the 3rd District, which became the college's home with the move to the Knollcrest campus.
