Visitor Guidelines

Individual Tours

  • Individuals may take self-guided tours of the library.
  • After 10:00 p.m. a valid Wolfpack One Card (campus ID) is required for library entry.
  • No touring or sightseeing is permitted during Reading Days or Final Exam periods.  Check university academic calendars.
  • Parents should be sure that children remain quiet with no loud talking, running, or horseplay in the library to avoid disrupting patrons.
  • NC State is a cashless campus. If you plan to dine on campus or shop in the campus bookstore (Wolfpack Outfitters), please plan accordingly. These locations take all major credit and debit cards. For dining locations, visit dining.ncsu.edu/locations. For information about Wolfpack Outfitters, visit shop.ncsu.edu.

Group Tours

  • We are unable to accommodate guided tours of the libraries. Individuals or groups of twenty guests or fewer are welcome to self-tour.
  • Unauthorized group tours of more than 20 guests are not permitted.
