Information about the Buffalo School Library System (BSLS)
The Buffalo School Library
System is a cooperative library agency funded by New York State. Our contact
with the State Education Department is through the New
York State Library. Our office is located at School #70 - Room 210, 76 Buffum St., Buffalo NY 14210.
Our purpose is defined by NY State Regulations. We operate under a Plan of Service, Member Plan, and Bylaws. An 18-member Council insures implementation of the Plan of Service, and adheres to the Buffalo School Library System's Vision and Mission.
Our major goal is resource-sharing, including activities such as interlibrary loan, maintaining a union catalog, and cooperative collection development. We also assist our members to attain Electronic Doorway Library status by offering information, training, and providing equipment and Internet-access grants.
Our organization is member of the Western New York Library Resources Council. Our membership is comprised of all of the Buffalo Public Schools and all of the non-public schools in the City of Buffalo which meet minimum standards for a school library.
