Note from the Coordinator
It was wonderful to see many of you at the ACL Conference last month—I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! Thank you to those who were able to attend the CLC membership meeting. For anyone who missed it, you can find a recap here.
A special thanks to all who have renewed their CLC membership for the 2025–2026 period, which officially begins today. We’re excited to continue partnering with you to maximize your library’s budget, expand resource access, and support your library’s mission.
Please take note of the important participation deadlines listed below. These opportunities are a key part of your CLC benefits, and we want to ensure you don’t miss out!
As always, feel free to reach out if you have any questions. We’re here to help and are grateful to be serving alongside you.
