*Division Information*

The State Library of North Carolina is the principal library of state
government, with a mission to build the capacity of all libraries in North
Carolina and to provide access to specialized collections for its
residents. The State Library is comprised of three major programs: The
Government and Heritage Library (GHL), the Library for the Blind and
Physically Handicapped, and Library Development. The GHL provides services
and information related to North Carolina government, history,
demographics, statistics, and cultural heritage, including genealogy. It is
the permanent repository for state agency publications and collects,
preserves, and provides public access to current and historical state
publications in print and digital formats. The GHL consists of two units,
Content and Information Delivery (reference, access, education and
outreach, and digital information management services), and Content
Management and Access (cataloging, collection development, State
Publications Clearinghouse, and acquisitions).

The NC Government & Heritage Library (GHL) seeks an enthusiastic,

outreach initiatives, and specialized digital projects. Develops and
delivers in-person and online training. Develops policies, guidelines, best
