Brief description
The Long Island Library Resources Council (LILRC), one of nine New York State Reference and Research Library Resources System (3Rs), is a multi-type library membership organization that fosters and enhances resource sharing and other cooperative activities among diverse libraries in Nassau and Suffolk counties. An organization chartered and funded by the State, LILRC is also committed to working with library systems and associations in the region and throughout New York, and with the Division of Library Development of the New York State Education Department, to further its goals.The Council informs members about technological, legislative, political, social, cultural and other developments as they affect libraries. It provides continuing education opportunities and enables member libraries to take advantage of cost-effective means of accessing information resources to better serve their constituencies.
Active committees, composed of library and Council staff members, assure wide participation in LILRC activities and development of programs pertinent to the needs of the membership. LILRC assumes an advocacy role in representing to the Legislature, the business community, and the public at large the value and services of all types of libraries.
