Welcome to the Library!

Looking for committee minutes? Need information about prior legislators? Have questions about bills, votes, statutes, session laws, vetoes, or the legislative process? Want a quiet getaway with a fabulous view of downtown Raleigh? The North Carolina Legislative Library offers this and more!

Our mission is to meet the research and information needs of General Assembly members, their staffs, and legislative committees. We are also a resource for other state agencies and the public. Our website is chock-full of publications, tutorials, and historical collections.

For general information or research assistance, call us at 919-733-9390 or email us at library@ncleg.gov.
The library can provide audio files of committee meetings from the current biennium. No earlier bienniums are available. Video is not available. We deliver the audio on a flash drive (email is not available). To obtain audio files, contact us at audio@ncleg.gov.
