The State Library of Kansas is located in the State Capitol building in Topeka. The library's primary mission is to serve the residents of Kansas through direct service and through support of local libraries. Even before statehood, the State Library served as a depository of legal and historical documents and as a ready resource to the executive and legislative branches of Kansas government. Today, through the latest technology and access to online research databases, the State Library of Kansas offers more information than ever to the residents of Kansas.
