Discounts

If your library is a member of CLC, your entire institution is eligible to purchase from CLC's discount contracts - not just the library itself. These contracts save members an average of $7 million each year, and are carefully crafted to comply with state and federal purchasing requirements that many organizations must follow, especially if you receive public funds. By buying off of CLC's contracts, you ensure compliance with these regulations while enjoying significant savings, without having to go out to bid on your own.

Roundtables

Roundtables are an informal opportunity for library staff to gather for networking, sharing ideas, problem-solving, and fostering a sense of community. CLC sponsors over 30 roundtables, including a Special Libraries Roundtable. Groups are run by volunteer chairs from the Connecticut library community with support from CLC.
