The Pioneer Library System (PLS) is a New York State chartered, cooperative public library system serving the forty-two public libraries in Livingston, Ontario, Wayne and Wyoming counties. One of twenty-three public library systems in New York State, it was created to enhance the service of and promote cooperation among its member libraries. View our charter and bylaws.

Mission: To improve and expand library service in Livingston, Ontario, Wayne and Wyoming counties through leadership, education, advocacy and enhanced resource sharing.

Good public libraries are important to everyone and through library systems, a broader range of materials and services are provided than any single community library could otherwise afford.

Each public library is governed by its own board of trustees. A nine member board representing the forty-two member libraries oversees the administration of the Pioneer Library System. View minutes of the board meetings. The Geneva Public Library serves as the Central Library for Pioneer.

Pioneer Library System's plan of service for 2012-2016 was developed with input from member library directors and staff. It outlines the goals and objectives we intend to accomplish in the next few years. Download a pdf version of the complete plan of service.
