About the State Library
Established in 1812, the State Library of North Carolina is the catalyst for exceptional library services in North Carolina. We are the principal library of state government; we build the capacity of all libraries; and we develop and support access to specialized collections for the people of North Carolina. There are three sections of the State Library:
- Government and Heritage Library - Print and digital information about North Carolina; research expertise
- Library Development - Supporting libraries throughout the state
- Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped - Serving blind and physically handicapped readers
The State Library is part of the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.
