Administrative History
The Rochester Regional Research Library Council was founded in March 1965 by area librarians, including Rochester Public Library Director, Harold Hacker. The RRRLC was founded to improve collaboration between regional libraries. The RRRLC originally provided inter-library loans services, daily delivery services to participating libraries, reciprocal borrowing, continuing education, and a media center. The RRRLC was awarded its charter from the New York Board of Regents in 1966. The Rochester Regional Research Library Council changed to the Rochester Regional Library Council and changed their mission to include all types of libraries.
The Rochester Regional Library Council is a multi-type library network serving libraries and library systems in the five-county Rochester region. RRLC provides programs and services that enhance member library cooperation, service delivery and resource sharing. RRLC serves as a forum for the unified representation of library interests and helps members achieve together what could not be achieved separately. The RRLC now includes academic, public, school (K-12), corporate, non-profit, and medical libraries.
