What is NC Cardinal?

NC Cardinal is a growing consortium of public libraries in North Carolina dedicated to sharing resources and expanding opportunities through the use of a single online catalog. It is a program of the State Library of North Carolina, supported by grant funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Federal Library Services and Technology Act.

NC Cardinal expands items available to you to over 7.2 million items statewide. For more information, head to the State Library’s link about NC Cardinal to learn more and see the map below to see how many libraries there are in the NC Cardinal consortium!
