Urban Libraries Council

Founded in 1971, the Urban Libraries Council is an association of public libraries in metropolitan areas and the corporations that serve them. Believing that thriving public libraries are a result of collaborative leadership, the trustees, library directors, and corporate officers of member institutions work together to address shared issues, grasp new opportunities, and conduct research that improves professional practice.

ULC is committed to flexibility and strategic opportunism, balanced by a mindfulness of member’s priorities and diversity. Closed email lists, awards for best practices, a monthly newsletter, and various working groups ensure timely, effective communication in priority areas.
