' The North Carolina State Li brary operates with two other agencies in the building der signed for the Supreme. Court. The library has so increased its services that books and person nel are crowded beyond the point of efficiency; Because of the in adequate .space in the old : Su preme Court building, the li brary has materials in the Man sion Park Building in . Raleigh and in the Bureau of Audio Visual Education in Chapel Hill. Likewise! the . Department . of Archives and History uses space 'n ; four pother buildings. .
