METRO is a non-profit organization that provides essential services to libraries, archives, and museums.
Resource Sharing
Libraries are most effective when they work together to share their resources with one another. METRO facilitates resource sharing for our member network with three services: Delivery Services, Coordinated Collection Development Aid (CCDA), and Library Referrals.
Interest Groups
We all have a lot to learn from each other. METRO connects people who are doing similar work at different institutions. Our Interest Groups are convened by leaders in our field around a topic of interest to our community.
Hospital Library Services
The METRO Hospital Library Services Program (HLSP) supports the work of more than 65 hospital and medical center libraries in New York City and Westchester County. We seek to develop, enhance, and improve the delivery of healthcare information between member libraries and health care professionals.
Digital Services
Our Digital Services Team works with our global members, and also provides support and hosting services for local METRO members both individually and via the Digital Culture of Metropolitan New York (DCMNY) shared repository platform.
