What is NC Live?

Since it officially began offering online access in April 1998, NC LIVE has served all North Carolina libraries with equitable access to a core selection of digital content and services, and has saved the state millions through its collaborative efforts. Many things have changed since that time, but NC LIVE’s mission remains the same – to help libraries in their efforts to support education, enhance economic development and improve quality of life.

NC LIVE offers free electronic access to resources for all ages on topics ranging from careers, business, and investing, to health, history, and genealogy. Ebooks, audiobooks, videos, magazines, newspapers, journals, language-learning tools, and other online materials available through NC LIVE are designed for at-home use, and are available from any Internet connection via library websites, and through NCLIVE.org. All North Carolinians may use NC LIVE resources through local public libraries, community colleges, or college and university libraries.
