AspenCat is welcoming 22 Colorado Department of Corrections libraries. Our first round went live Monday, March 28th and our second round went live April 11th. These libraries will be on a separate Koha instance than our original AspenCat libraries. Colorado Department of Education’s Institutional Library Development team operates on the belief that everyone deserves a great library, and we at CLiC could not agree more! [Read more…]

cloudLibrary Pledges are Here!
Every year, we ask AspenCat Member Libraries to pledge money for the upcoming year, so that we ensure your patrons have access to a wide variety of eBooks and eAudiobooks. This year, with many of your patrons continuing to stay home more and explore our Pay Per Use collection, that pledge is even more important. If you do not know much about cloudLibrary or do not see the benefit to your patrons, please see the following fast facts!
Your Voice Matters
Believe it or not, it’s been more than 16 years since CLiC has received an increase to the state appropriation it uses to subsidize the statewide courier and other services provided to libraries.
CLiC is working on an advocacy project and is looking for stories about the positive impacts the statewide courier system has on your library, your patrons, and your community. Short and sweet is great, and if you have more you’d like to share please contact us at clichelp@clicweb.org. We’ll be passing on selected stories of impact to members of the CAL Legislative Committee, and we’ll be sharing your library name as well. Thank you for helping us build a picture of how and why courier is a key service for your library, and why resource sharing is crucial for Colorado libraries.
