TheMilwaukee County Federated Library System (MCFLS) is apublic library system that coordinates activities between its memberpublic libraries, which collectively serve theMilwaukee metropolitan area. It is governed by a board of trustees and funded by theState of Wisconsin and each member library.[1] The system was established on January 1, 1973, one of the first to be set up under a Wisconsin state law that provided funding for county library systems.[2]
The MCFLS provides a number of useful services to any person who is a member of one of its libraries. These services allow the person to use any member library as if they belonged to it, such as searching all libraries' collection through a common catalog system, checking out any library's materials through the internet, and requesting them to be delivered to a closer library. The MCFLS also provides administration services to each of its member libraries, such as assisting with technical upgrades, submitting annual reports, purchasing subscription database services, and providing continuing education opportunities.[3]
