MCLS - Midwest Collaborative for Library Services

Call Directions Website

MCLS - Midwest Collaborative for Library Services Nonprofit membership organization for Indiana and Michigan libraries, founded February 15, 2010. MCLS exists to serve our members, and we put their needs first.

MCLS' mission is to facilitate sharing resources and to collaborate with other organizations to benefit member libraries. The Midwest Collaborative for Library Services (MCLS) was formed in February 2010 from the merger of the Indiana Cooperative Library Services Authority (INCOLSA) and Michigan Library Consortium (MLC) to better serve member libraries in both states. Our members range from large research libraries, to public libraries, to very small school media centers and special libraries. MCLS’ Board of Directors is composed of librarians just like you—from all library types—who genuinely understand the local needs and aspirations of libraries in our two states. We’re proud to offer great customer service and a personal touch you won’t find elsewhere.
