D. H. Hill Jr. Library

D. H. Hill Jr. Library stands 11 stories tall and is named for one of NC State's first librarians.

The D. H. Hill Jr. Library is one of two main libraries at North Carolina State University. It is the third building to house the NC State University Libraries, following Brooks Hall and Holladay Hall. The current building, situated on the Hillsborough Street edge of North Campus,[1] is the result of four stages of construction, and houses the majority of the volumes in NC State's collection.

As of 2020, the system's total holdings amount to over 3.28 million available volumes, 122,839 electronic journal subscriptions, 511 print subscriptions, 685 bibliographic databases, and access to over 1.3 million electronic books.[2] In the 2019–2020 academic year, the Libraries saw over 16 million total uses.[2] The Libraries' collection is the smallest among the "Big 3" Universities in the Triangle Research Libraries Network—the other two library systems being Duke University (7.26 million volumes as of 2016) and UNC at Chapel Hill (9.19 million volumes as of 2016).[3][4]
