Creating the libraries of the future…

…requires a constant focus on innovative ideas and effective support. For more than 40 years, the Metropolitan New York Library Council - METRO - has brought essential services and support to libraries throughout New York City and Westchester County. In key areas including digitization, advocacy, professional development, job placement, collection expansion, and shared services, we help libraries of all kinds to protect and expand their role as vital resources for learning.
