St 1825, c 123 (1826) provided for a library for the General Court to be kept under the care of the land agent. St 1849, c 155 provided that the librarian of the State Library be the secretary to the Board of Education; St 1850, c 182 provided for a board of trustees to be appointed by the governor; and St 1893, c 86 provided that the librarian be appointed by the governor. St 1960, c 380 officially designated the State Library as the George Fingold Library. The trustees were placed within the Executive Office of Educational Affairs by St 1969, c 704, s 14; after that body was abolished (St 1980, c 329, s 106) the trustees and library were placed administratively within the Executive Office for Administration and Finance. The library's functions--to fill information and research requirements of the executive and legislative branches of state government, to be a depository for Massachusetts state and federal printed documents, and to be a principal resource for the history of Massachusetts and its local communities--are currently described in MGLA c 6, ss 33-39.
