Cooperative Purchase Survey
Possible Cooperative Purchases
At CLiC we are approached by a wide variety of vendors. It is important to us that we are working with and securing discounts that your library and community care about.
Recently, we have a few interesting vendors that we would like your opinion on. Are these products something that your library and community find value in?
We would appreciate it if you would please take a few minutes to read and either watch the video or visit the trial and give us your feedback for the following four products.
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.
