Empire State Library Network
Empire State Library Network (ESLN) is comprised of the nine Reference and Research Library Resources Councils – each a multi-type library system in New York State. ESLN’s unique structure provides entre for libraries and archives of all types and sizes into a statewide platform for shared services and collaborations. A Board of Trustees comprised of each Council’s Executive Director governs ESLN. Each Director provides input to ESLN’s activities and brings to the table input from their members to create a statewide view of library services across regions and service areas. Each individual Council contributes both staff time and a membership fee to ESLN to support initiatives that benefit all nine regions.
