Now Online: The State of Our Library

We are happy to announce that our new exhibit The State of Our Library: 200 Years of Serving the Commonwealth is now available online! Visit our website to explore the history of the State Library at your convenience.


Follow the history of the State Library from its founding in 1826 up through the modern day. The exhibit highlights our collection, along with our various services, resources, and technological advances. And take a peek at the different locations within the State House that we've occupied and the changes to our physical space.

As a complement to our online exhibit, check out our Flickr album of photographs showing the State Library through the years. 

For those who want to see the exhibit in person, stop by the State House to see the cases outside of the library in room 341, before stepping inside to explore our reading room. The State House is open to the public Monday through Friday from 9:00 to 5:00.
