New York Education Law Section 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.
