How do I import Control.Monad.State?

I see this note in http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Haskell/Understanding_monads/State
 
Note: in some package systems used for GHC, the Control.Monad.State module is in a separate package, usually indicated by MTL (Monad Transformer Library).

===============rand.hs ==============

import Control.Monad.State

type GeneratorState = State StdGen

rollDie :: GeneratorState Int
rollDie = do generator <- get
             let( value, newGenerator ) = randomR (1,6) generator
             put newGenerator
             return value
