CLC
Connecticut Library Consortium
The Connecticut Library Consortium, (www.ctlibrarians.org) is a non-profit corporation governed by a board of directors who represent its 900 member libraries. Revenue from member libraries' dues and fees and state grants fund CLC's mission to initiate and facilitate cost-effective services, create and support educational and professional development, and help libraries to strengthen their ability to serve their users. CLC programs include discounts through cooperative purchasing, InfoAnytime, roundtables and continuing education, CLC/OCLC Direct, community partnerships, resource sharing through media cooperatives, communications via the website, CLClist, and CONNtext, and the contractual administration of CLA. The Connecticut Library Association, (www.ctlibraryassociation.org) is a professional association of about 1000 individual members. As such, CLA has the right to lobby in the General Assembly for legislation and appropriations that affect libraries (including funding for iCONN, Connecticard, Public Library Construction grants, InfoAnytime, and CLC.) Revenues from membership dues and the annual spring conference allow CLA to run its office, hire a lobbyist, maintain a website and Connecticut Libraries. The Connecticut State Library, (www.cslib.org) is a state agency who's Division of Library Development (ct.webjunction.org) receives state and federal
funds to support programs like Connecticar, Connecticard, iCONN, reQuest, the Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, Continuing Education, and collections at CSL service centers in Willimantic and Middletown. CSL administers LSTA, state aid, and construction grants, collects public library statistics and provides consulting services to libraries. CSL staff also support ACLB and FOCL. The Association of Connecticut Library Boards, (www.aclb.org) was established to help CT public library trustees broaden their knowledge of current developments in the library field through workshops and other activities, to improve communication and cooperation between member boards and individual trustees, and to participate in the advocacy process to secure strong local, state, and national support for public libraries. ACLB hosts an annual fall leadership conference for public library directors and trustees. The Friends of Connecticut Libraries, (www.cslib.org/focl) consists of local Friends groups, organizations and individual members who believe that libraries are an essential resource for the citizens of Connecticut. FOCL produces a Handbook for CT Library Friends and hosts regular meetings and workshops for local Friends groups, organizations, various book sellers, and individual members.

Library Happenings and Member News Middletown's Russell Library Director Arthur Meyers was honored as the recipient of the seventh annual Liberty Bank Community Diversity Award at an elegant and warm (like Arthur!) reception for 250 people sponsored by the bank. The invitation said, "Thank you, Art, for being the quiet, persistent voice that reveals the beauty of difference around the world and in our own backyard." Above: Arthur with Russell Library's Assistant Director Vince Juliano and Vince's wife Marian. Westport Public Library will hold its Ninth Annual Crossword Puzzle Contest on Saturday, February 2 at 1 pm. New York Times Puzzle Editor Will Shortz will provide unpublished puzzles and be on hand to play some word games between puzzles. The event is for experienced and novice players. Register online at www.westportlibrary.org. Leslie Scherer and Karen Roesler with Wallingford Public Library Board Member Don Hunt celebrate Karen's 25 years at Wallingford as co-director with Leslie and now her new role as Meriden Public Library Director, which she begins this month. Best of luck, Karen and Leslie! You've been an inspiration to all of us who have tried to find a way to successfully juggle home and work. Angela Stille is the new Adult Services Librarian at the Edith Wheeler Memorial Library in Monroe. A native of Iowa, Angela relocated to Connecticut this past spring. She replaces Jessica Rogoz, who accepted the position of head of technical services at the West Haven Public Library. Hartford Public Library held its grand re-opening, "Five Days to Celebrate the New Hartford Public Library." The events began on Monday, December 31 and culminated on Sunday, January 5 as banners, music, and dance were brought together for the celebration of "Hartford in Harmony."
When Bethel Public Library submitted a grant application to the Connecticut State Library (CSL) for the completion of its second floor in late August, it sought $500,000, the most that any library could request. Shortly after the maximum grant amount was increased to $1 million due to a change in bonding legislation. Because of this, the library will receive $898,432 from the state. Other CSL construction grant awardees include: Brooklyn Town Library ($1,000,000 for new construction), Hartford Public Library ($1,000,000 for new construction at its Albany Branch), North Branford's Atwater Memorial Library ($1,000,000 for an addition and renovation), Farmington's Barney Branch Library ($1,000,000 for an addition and renovation), Plymouth's Terryville Public Library ($16,772 for code compliance), and Stamford's Ferguson Library ($145,000 for HVAC). Killingworth Library was hoppin' and boppin' on November 29! Local performer Margie Warner "wow-ed" an audience of almost 100 people (large and small) with songs from her newest CD, On the Road With the Fun Family. Everyone danced and sang along to such hits as Bird on the Roof, Sittin' on the Barnacles, and Turn Out the Lights & Go To Bed. Miss Margie sure knows how to put on a show! After years without Internet access for patrons, the Warehouse Point Library Association in East Windsor will soon acquire four computers, thanks to a state grant. The $24,463 state library grant, administered through the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving, also will improve access to local history, reference, and special collections, with additional glass-encased bookshelves to protect the collection. A recent donation of an older computer has given the staff at the Sprague Public Library (Baltic) the opportunity to set up an early literacy computer in its Children's Room. The library is offering a series of toddler and preschool craft and story times as part of the statewide early literacy program "It's Never Too Early.'"

Library Happenings and Member News We all want to thank Henry Dutcher of Enfield Public Library for spearheading the CT Book Party effort (and CLC's own Deb Zulick and Jan Gluz for assisting him). About 175 donors gave a net amount of $12,803.18. Because this was not enough to spread among multiple libraries, it was decided to select just one library to receive the donation. The Biloxi Public Library was chosen through a grant process administered by the Mississippi State Library. The library will use the funds to bring their Local History and Genealogy Department back to functionality. The department was almost completely destroyed by the hurricane and a large part of the collection was lost. "On behalf of the CT Book Party I want to extend our sincere THANKS to all that gave so generously," said Henry Dutcher. "As the only state to date to muster such an effort, you should all be proud of the assistance Connecticut has provided Biloxi to make their library whole again." Stratford Library's Martha Simpson and Lucretia Duwel have a new book entitled Bringing Classes into the Public Library, A Handbook for Librarians. Check it out at www.mcfarlandpub.com/ book-2.php?id=978-0-7864-2806-9.
Send Us Your Latest Library Happenings & News! Send your library’s and staff members’ news, ideas, photos, etc., to CONNtext editor Kathy Charbonneau at kcharb2361@aol.com. The deadline is the 20th of each month.

What's It all About, Connecticut Librarians?cont. The Connecticut Association of School Librarians, (www.ctcema.org) was formerly known as CEMA, the Connecticut Educational Media Association. It is a professional association providing leadership, development, publicity, networking and support to the CT school library community. CASL publishes a monthly newsletter reporting on board meetings, programs, and timely information and maintains a listserv. In 2007, CASL held a joint conference with CECA, the CT Educational Computing Association (www.ceca-ct.org). The Council of Connecticut Academic Library Directors (faculty.quinnipiac.edu/ccald/ccald.html) was founded to improve services and access to resources through cooperation, to benefit economically by purchasing and applying for grants collectively, to serve as a means of communication among CT academic library directors, and to make recommendations and represent the point of view of CT academic library directors to any agency affecting their service. CCALD meets monthly and maintains a listserv for its members. FCC-SLA and CVC-SLA are the Fairfield County chapter (http://units.sla.org/chapter/cffc/) and the CT Valley chapter (http://units.sla.org/chapter/ccnv/) of the Special Libraries Association. SLA is an international professional association representing information resource experts who collect, analyze, evaluate, package, and disseminate information to facilitate accurate decision making. Both FCC-SLA and CVC-SLA offer programs of interest during the year which provide an opportunity to stay up to date with current trends in library and information science, as well provide an opportunity to network with other information professionals. CVC-SLA is considering a merger with the Boston chapter of SLA in 2008. Be sure to visit the websites of all of the Connecticut library organizations on this page and page 1 for more information on the many ways they support our libraries.
