About NC Cardinal

Over the first five years of its existence, NC Cardinal has broadened its focus beyond "a shared catalog and a statewide library card" to providing cost savings, collaborative collection development, and resource sharing among Member Libraries.
Today, the shared catalog contains almost 6.9 million items. Over 61 million items have been circulated and over 4.5 million items were transited between Member Libraries since 2013, with an average of 97,461 items moving around the state per month in 2019.
