 | Bridging the Long Island Library Community |
The Long Island Library Resources Council (LILRC) is one of New York’s nine Library Resources Systems. LILRC is a 501 (c)(3) tax-exempt not for profit organization. It is chartered by the New York State Board of Regents. The Council was incorporated in 1966 and received its absolute charter in June 1971 as the Reference and Research Library Resources Council (3Rs) for Nassau and Suffolk Counties.
As a regional multi-type library organization serving academic, special, public, school libraries and library systems in Nassau and Suffolk counties, our purpose is to enhance access to information, encourage resource sharing, and promote library interests for all LILRC members.
LILRC is the administrator of the following New York State grants for Suffolk and Nassau County: Regional Bibliographic Databases and Interlibrary Loan Resources Sharing Program (RBDB), Hospital Library Service Program (HLSP), and the Medical Information Services Program (MISP).
