WNYLRC offers programs and services that enhance member library cooperation, resource sharing,  and professional development. 

In addition, WNYLRC works to foster cooperation between the many different types of libraries it serves including encouraging collaboration and partnerships in a variety of areas. Libraries bring their strengths to the region in the form of new initiatives to collectively improve information access for patrons. 

WNYLRC works with its members to develop those products and services that meet information needs at the point of entry allowing patrons in Western New York to locate the rich library and historical resources available to them.
