Note from the Coordinator
Greetings, friends!
I hope this October finds you well. Our EBSCO eBook offer is in full swing. Don’t miss out this Fall on the opportunity to build your ebook collection and save! Please take note below of the informational webinar that will be offered later this month.
Just a reminder that the CLC is looking to add one more member to our leadership team. This person will assist in marketing and promotion efforts, including facilitation of the monthly member update, participate in bi-monthly team meetings, and potentially provide support in updating and maintaining the CLC libguide. Please contact Kristina Claunch, ACL Volunteer Coordinator, if you are interested or for more information.
