AspenCat Con ’25
September 22, 2025 by
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
September 8, 2025 by
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!

.AspenCat Office Hours Schedule
July 8, 2025 by
The AspenCat team is excited to post the schedule for recurring office hours each month. 
This time will allow libraries to drop into a zoom meeting with whatever questions they have. While we still want the majority of issues to go through submitting a ticket to ensure the timeliest response, there are just some things that are better discussed than written. With zoom, we also have the ability to do screen sharing as well. Please feel free to drop by during any of our office hour times that will be held 3 days a month, every month. If these times don’t work well, just put in a ticket and we can meet on your schedule.
2nd Thursday of the month @1pm Zoom Link
3rd Tuesday of the month @11am Zoom Link
4th Wednesday of the month @12pm Zoom Link
