The State Law Library originally was established
as the State Library in 1827. At that time, the
Library was an agency of the executive branch
(Chapter 53, Acts of 1827). Its primary purpose
was to serve the legal and general reference needs
of the legislative and judicial branches of State
government. The Library operated under this or-
ganizational structure until 1978, when it was
placed under the Judiciary and renamed the State
Law Library (Chapter 128, Laws of 1978).
Besides meeting the legal information needs of
the State's appellate courts and other branches of
State government and serving as a resource center
for circuit court libraries throughout the State, the
Library is open to the public and encourages the
use of its extremely valuable reference resources,
including laws, general reference materials, State
and federal government documents, and State and
local histories and genealogies. With a total collec-
tion of close to 300,000 volumes, the Library offers
the researcher access to a unique information re-
source. The collection, basically composed of refer-
ence material, does not circulate, except to State
agency personnel. Much of the collection, however,
is available on interlibrary loan and photocopy fa-
cilities are available to patrons.
