Colorado Library Consortium, Library organization in Centennial, United States
The Colorado Library Consortium is a statewide network of libraries headquartered in Centennial that connects member institutions through shared services and resources. It provides access to joint purchasing agreements, integrated library systems, and consulting support to enhance operational efficiency across participating libraries.
Multiple regional library systems across Colorado merged into a single organization in 2004 to create a unified statewide network. This consolidation formed the foundation for coordinated library services that support institutions throughout the state.
The consortium organizes training sessions and conferences for library staff throughout Colorado to improve their skills and share best practices. These gatherings help professionals stay current with developments in library services.
Most public libraries in Colorado participate in the network and provide access to its services at their locations. Visitors can typically request resources from other libraries through their home branch.
The AspenCat platform connects numerous smaller libraries across the state through a shared digital catalog and resource database. Users can search across this system to find books and materials from many different library locations.
