MCLINC

Building a better community through collaboration and cooperation.

MCLINC is the acronym for the Montgomery County Library and Information Network Consortium, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization whose members are the public libraries in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. MCLINC is an independent entity which is supported by member fees, and foundation, corporate, and individual grants.

MCLINC provides independently governed and funded libraries the opportunity to cooperatively purchase and operate automation services, in order to provide the best possible public service to the residents of Montgomery County through the sharing of resources.

MCLINC was formed in 1995 in order to purchase and operate an integrated online library system for the benefit of the residents of Montgomery County. MCLINC is a consortium created by the libraries of Montgomery County, managed by a non-profit board, that provides centralized expertise and technical assistance to the entire system. By using group purchasing power, the most cost-effective telecommunications and the experience of others, MCLINC will bring substantially enhanced library service to the residents of Montgomery County.
