CEFLS serves member public libraries and reading centers in Clinton, Essex and Franklin Counties with a variety of services. In addition to helping libraries provide excellent service, we assist trustees with their responsibilities by providing consulting services, research, and continuing education.  We appreciate the important role that trustees have in advocating for public libraries and serving their communities.
