The N.H. State Library acts as a last copy repository for adult fiction. The NHSL Last Copy Center is located in a storage facility in Manchester. It currently contains 4,490 adult fiction titles that are the last remaining copy of a title in the state. Titles in good condition can be donated by New Hampshire libraries to be evaluated for addition to the collection based on State Library criteria. Last year 230 titles were added. All titles are listed in the online statewide union catalog and available for interlibrary loan.

The goal of the Last Copy Center is to preserve older, quality titles that might be weeded from library collections due to space or usage concerns.

If you have fiction titles that may be candidates for the Last Copy Center, please contact John McCormick (271-2060) at the N.H. State Library for collection criteria and donation instructions.
