D.H. Hill Jr. Library

A Hub for Learning and Teaching

Located on Main Campus, the D.H. Hill Jr. Library is one of NC State’s two main libraries, complementing the James B. Hunt Jr. Library on Centennial Campus.

D.H. Hill houses over one million volumes of the Libraries’ collection. Popular spaces for work and study include the Learning Commons; separate commons spaces for faculty members and graduate students; and quieter areas, such as the Special Collections Reading Room, the Quiet Reading Room and study seating in the bookstacks towers. Students can also enjoy coffee and snacks from Hill of Beans Cafe while they study.

The Data Experience Lab, Digital Media Lab, Innovation Studio, Makerspace, Visualization Studio and Virtual Reality Studio provide a wide variety of specialized equipment services and workshops.

D.H. Hill is also home to the Office of Undergraduate Research and Academic Success Center. These resources are available to all undergraduate students and are occupied by faculty and staff who are ready to support students learning and professional development, inside and outside of the classroom.
