Southwest Florida Library Network (SWFLN)
Helping libraries provide better, faster service.
The Southwest Florida Library Network (SWFLN) is one of the five regional groups of multi-type libraries (MLCs) in the State of Florida. SWFLIN is a non-profit 501(c)3 multi-type library cooperative. SWFLN serves the counties of Charlotte, Collier, DeSoto, Hendry, Lee, and Monroe.
What are Multi-type Library Cooperatives (MLCs)?
-
MLCs deliver access to knowledge and information resources throughout Florida libraries.
-
MLCs provide cost effective library staff training, top quality professional development and continuing education along with an international sharing system of resources.
-
MLCs monitor current library developments in service and evolving technologies for all libraries.
-
MLCs share materials through Inter Library loan so Florida citizens have access to whatever information they need.
