    The American Sunday-Schools, which were established and rapidly expanded through the 19th century as an activity of Protestant Christian mission works, had their own library for children and young people. The purpose of the paper is to study the significances of the Sunday-School Library as a prototype of the children's libraries, by examining its contemporary literature and modern researches. It can be concluded, that the Sunday-School Library was the most important stepstone for the development of the public library services for children which started at the end of the 19th century. Comparing to the contemporary public libraries they advanced on the following points; 1st, widely opened to young people all over the country, 2nd, lent books without charge, 3rd, no age limit for younger children. The idea of making the recommended book list was started by the people concerned the Sunday-School Libray. Although the quality of the Sunday-School books was criticized, they stimulated the publishing of children's books as well as popularized the reading habits of children and their families. Due to the Sunday-School Library, the service for children at public libraries was smoothly accepted and developped all over the United States.

    The Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) in the United States has had a role of ensuring free access to government publications since the middle of the 19th century. This Program has been faced to demands for reform as more government information was disseminated in electronic formats. The Government Printing Office (GPO), which administers the FDLP, has developed the "GPO Access", an online-database for federal government information, with the enactment of the GPO Electronic Information Access Enhancement Act of 1993. In addition, since 1996 the GPO has been promoting electronic transition of the FDLP based on the partnerships comprised of the GPO, other federal organizations and depository libraries in order to ensure permanent access to electronic government information. However, despite these reforms, the FDLP has not radically changed its structure so as to meet the electronic environment. This article analyzes this process and challenges for electronic transition of the FDLP, and its background, especially policy-making issues.
