The Planning Library at the University of North Carolina was established to serve the research needs of students and faculty in the Department of City and Regional Planning, which was founded in 1946. It was administered as a departmental library, with part of its support coming from the department and part from the University Library. The Planning Library was later named in honor of F. Stuart Chapin Jr., who was a member of the faculty of the Department of City and Regional Planning, 1949-1978. As of 12 July 2010, the F. Stuart Chapin, Jr. Planning Library closed, and its staff and collections were moved to the Walter Royal Davis Library.

Records include annual reports, library policies and collection guides, library planning and development files, and materials listing books donated to the library. Also included are records documenting the transfer of the print and archival materials of John Nolen, city planner and landscape architect, from the F. Stuart Chapin, Jr. Planning Library to other institutions.
