In 2022, the program partnered with the Ohio Library for the Blind to expand its collections through the use of the Braille and Audio Reading Download (BARD) service and mobile app.

The division, located in Topeka, has a collection of over 250,000 titles including books, magazines, current newspapers, U.S. federal documents, Kansas government documents, Kansas legislative material and a newspaper clippings file dating back to the 1920s.

Research assistance is provided for walk-in, telephone, instant message and email questions.

Interlibrary loan service is also available, providing material within the library's collection to people around the world.

Librarians with the reference division assist Kansans with basic questions about the legislature, including providing bill numbers, status, dates and calendar information.
