LOCATION
The West Virginia State Law Library is in the East Wing of Building One of the State Capitol Complex at 1900 Kanawha Boulevard East in Charleston, West Virginia. There is metered parking available around the Capitol Complex and some free nearby street parking. Please be sure to bring quarters with you for the parking meters. You may park at any meter that is not reserved (reserved meters will have cloth bags over them). Please do not park at reserved meters to avoid receiving a parking ticket.
Once you have parked on the Capitol Complex grounds, walk toward the Capitol Dome (Building One). As you approach Building One, you will notice that it is in the shape of an inverted letter “U.” You will be approaching the building from the inner part of the U-shaped courtyard which contains a water fountain. As you face the fountain, walk to your left in the U-shaped courtyard and enter the building from that entrance (East Wing). Proceed straight ahead to the elevator. Take it to the Fourth Floor and turn right when you exit the elevator. The Library is straight ahead at the end of the hall in Room E-404.
