N.Y. Education Law § 252: Other libraries owned by the state

§ 252. Other libraries owned by the state. The report of the state

library to the legislature shall include a statement of the total number

of volumes or pamphlets, the number added during the year, with a

summary of operations and conditions, and any needed recommendation for

safety or usefulness for each of the other libraries owned by the state,

the custodian of which shall furnish such information or facilities for

inspection as the regents may require for making this report. Each of

these libraries shall be under the sole control now provided by law, but

for the annual report of the total number of books owned by or bought

each year by the state, it shall be considered as a branch of the state

library and shall be entitled to any facilities for exchange of

duplicates, inter-library loans or other privileges properly accorded to

a branch.
