We are committed to providing a welcoming and productive environment for all. Please check out our Code of Conduct for more information. Please reach out to us with your events-related questions; our email address is [email protected].

If you would like to attend a METRO event and will need accommodation such as ASL interpretation, captioning, or other reasonable accommodation, please contact us at [email protected] at least one week in advance of the event. Live transcription via Zoom will be available during webinars.

Metropolitan New York Library Council (METRO) endeavors to bring our members; colleagues; and the library, archives, and museums community at large programs and events that represent and explore a range of ideas from across the field. We ask our program participants to understand that the viewpoints expressed on our channels are those of the presenters and do not necessarily reflect the beliefs of METRO or its staff. 

METRO’s staff works to ensure that our presenters and program attendees have access to a space that is conducive to learning from one another. We operate under a code of conduct that reifies our interest in civil discourse, and we uphold and maintain policies that prevent racism, sexism, ableism, ageism, and any other dehumanizing patterns of thought and behavior at our programs.

Thank you for your attention to these policies, and we look forward to seeing you at our upcoming event(s).

Lifelong learning and collaboration are central to METRO’s mission. We know that not all of our members have funds available to attend professional conferences, learning programs, and networking opportunities. 

To make things easier for you, a limited number of scholarships are available to individual members and institutional member employees who wish to participate in a professional development event, which may or may not be sponsored by METRO. 

Please keep an eye out for announcements about our continuing education grants program, which currently accepts applicantions twice yearly.
