Hi,
Is it typical for a university library to offer relocation assistance for an in-state move of 200 miles? Thanks.

yes, I think is fairly typical for academic libraries to pay relocation. I've worked for 2 state institutions that have both willingly paid relocation, but out of private (not state) funds. State institutions have many pots of money that are not funded by the legislature.
