The Capital District Library Council (CDLC) is a non-profit organization that supports libraries and cultural institutions across ten upstate New York counties by offering resources and services such as continuing education, access to and awareness of library collections, digital resources, member grants, and advocacy. Its membership spans a diverse mix of libraries, including academic, public, K-12, medical, non-profit, and corporate institutions, reflecting a collective goal of expanding regional access and collaboration. Based in the Albany area, CDLC operates within a broader network of regional library councils that together form the Empire State Library Network, emphasizing shared collections and local connections to achieve outcomes that individual libraries could not realize alone.
