NC State University Libraries

The NC State University Libraries is NC State’s intellectual hub—a central component of student success, faculty research, and community building on campus and off. As the gateway to knowledge for the university community and its partners, the Libraries is NC State's competitive advantage. From the bustling Learning Commons and Makerspace at the newly-renovated D. H. Hill Jr. Library to the collaborative and immersive visualization spaces at the world-renowned James B. Hunt Jr. Library, students and faculty access the technologies, resources, spaces, and services they need to lead the next wave of innovation and entrepreneurship in North Carolina.
