CLiC Honored with Award
October 23, 2017 by
In a surprise announcement at the recent 2017 Colorado Association of Libraries annual CAL Awards banquet, CLiC received the 2017 President’s Award!
During her introduction of the award, CAL President Dana Abbey shared these thoughts:
“The recipient of the 2017 President’s Award is a colleague to all who work in and support libraries in Colorado. They are eager to share their skills and expertise, but are just as happy to listen to your needs, concerns, and ideas. They log thousands of miles a year traversing lone two-lane highways, treacherous mountain passes, and rush-hour traffic to provide training, support, and materials.
“I am pleased to announce the winner of the 2017 President’s Award is the staff of the Colorado Library Consortium, or as most of us say, “CLiC.” I would like Jim Duncan, Executive Director, to accept the award on behalf of CLiC, and would also like to have any CLiC staff join us on stage. The CLiC dream team includes:
- Ross Callender
- Sandy Messick
- Sara Wright
- Kira Zimmerman
- Lauren Conley
- Bob Bennhoff
- Sharon Walker
- Ashley-Sneesby-Stippich
- Jo Hunter
- Andrea Pettegrew
“Congratulations, and thank you for supporting vital library services including AspenCat, the Library Courier, the CLiC Spring Workshops (as well as other professional development), Colleague on Call, Electronic Resources licensing, and just generally being awesome!”

Growing a new web site
March 8, 2017 by
Our old web site. It served us well.
We’ve been hard at work for many months, establishing CLiC’s new web site!
The #1 goal: make it easier for YOU to reach us. As easy as picking up the phone. As easy as hollerin’ out your back door, across the alley, “Can I borrow a cup of sugar?”
“Whatcha baking?” we ask, because we love cookies and cakes and pies, too.
So contact us! We’re ready with our mixing bowls.
About Our NEW Web Site
In a phrase: “They’re our kind of people.” By that, we mean the folks at Ramblin Jackson, the Boulder-based digital market + video production agency that took seriously our crazy ideas for this web site and actually brought those to life. On the surface, you might think it’s no big deal because the user interface is so easy to navigate and the design is cohesive… but the reality is that under the hood of this seemingly-simple site there exist structural complexities and utility beyond compare. This is a web site built around the concept that CLiC staff should be easy to reach and interact with AND should be reflective of our mission + core values. Ramblin Jackson surpassed our expectations. If you’re looking at revitalizing YOUR web presence, go talk with them, now!
Wi-Fi Woes?
March 7, 2017 by
Maybe your wifi is unreliable, or on the slow side. Or maybe you’re tired of “gathering” wifi usage statistics in your library by roving around with a clipboard, counting people on their devices.
Our solution is simple, affordable and elegant.
“Our wifi network is awesome – this is obviously a very slow time of the year in La Veta, but there are still cars parked outside every evening when we leave the library. Right now, with the bakery & the coffee shop closed for owner vacations, people without wifi have literally no other place to get online…
“Anyway – we love our new access points – our patrons are spoiled & don’t even know it, but we do! Thank you again for this great solution!” – La Veta Public Library
Installed in 9 locations as of June 2023:
- Penrose Public Library
- John C Fremont Library (Florence)
- La Veta Public Library
- Carnegie Public Library (Trinidad)
- Spanish Peaks Library District (Walsenburg)
