The CEFLS Outreach Department coordinates funds from the New York State Library to extend library services to special populations. From people who are visually impaired to those who are geographically isolated, we offer solutions and services that help everyone enjoy the benefits of a library. Services to these “target groups” are provided by CEFLS and/or local public libraries. CEFLS is dedicated to providing its member libraries and their patrons with information and awareness, to develop programs and services, to attract and connect to target populations, and to form relevant community partnerships at a local level.
