Turkey Takeover

When turkeys aren’t just hanging out in the oven/sauna for 2 to 5 hours at 325 degrees, they’re looking for a bargain. Because turkeys are notoriously thrifty.Happy Thanksgiving Day! (Turkey waving)

CLiC’s money-saving deals are all the rage among the entire poultry community. We see turkeys subscribing to EBSCO databases, chickens licensing Pebble Go Next, and pheasants doing research through Infobase products.

Take from us — e-resource products really are for the birds.

By the way, CLiC will be closed on Thursday and Friday this week.

AspenCat Con ’25

Our Annual AspenCat Conference (ACon) is set for October 29th.  It’s one of CLiC’s “must attend” events.  Our purpose for the conference is to connect member libraries so we can strengthen the community of AspenCat member libraries.

ACon will focus on interactive elements, practical information, and how you’ll be able to bring all of that knowledge back to your library.

You can register at https://clicweb.info/ACC2025.  See the agenda below…

FY25-26 Courier Estimates

Man unloading bins from truck

The Courier Team soon will be initiating the annual process of sending out courier cost estimates for the coming service year (October 2025 – September 2026). Those should be showing up in your email inboxes starting the week of September 8. If you have an urgent need for your library’s estimate, please email courierhelp@clicweb.org and we’ll work to expedite that document.

As always, we’ve published the current Courier rates on our In State Courier page for full transparency (scroll down to the Costs section).

Pause for a moment and think about the impact of statewide resource sharing. Here’s a quote from a Western Slope library patron about why statewide resource sharing is so important, “I am an avid reader, usually having at least 2 books on my reading table, as well as one audio book in my car for commuting and another audio book in my house for distraction during housework and exercising. I always have several materials on my Hold list (today I have 8). I am so grateful for the courier service that brings me materials from our District, as well as outside it. In fact, my life would be so much drearier without it!

That right there is why we do all the work that makes statewide resource sharing happen!
