LAFCON Scholarship
CLiC is offering scholarships for the first ever Library Advocacy and Funding Conference (LAFCON) hosted by EveryLibrary. The conference is virtual, and runs September 26th-28th, 2022.
What’s exciting is this conference is specifically designed to bring new knowledge to libraries. That’s because you’ll be hearing almost exclusively from people and organizations outside of this industry. You won’t be hearing from the same library presenters and organizations that we see at most other library conferences. Instead, EveryLibrary has sought out presenters and curated a conference agenda that will bring you all new information and ideas. Take a look at the LAFCON 2022 agenda.
Apply for the CLiC Scholarship below. Application DEADLINE is Tuesday, September 6, 2022.

Update: Courier codes discontinued or changed for 2021/22 service year
The Courier Team has wrapped up all the internal details for the 2021/22 renewal process, and 35 libraries have discontinued service for this year. As always, you can check courier status and find codes at https://courier.clicweb.org/.
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!
If you have preprinted courier slips on hand, please discard slips for the libraries listed below.
