We continue to set up your new association of library associations, providing a united voice for Canadian libraries. Canadian Urban Library Council (CULC) to take over administration of Library Materials Shipping Tool For many years the Canadian Library Association (CLA) has administered the Library Shipping Tool for libraries across Canada. This tool provided libraries across Canada access to affordable shipping rates. As a result of CLA's pending dissolution, it will no longer be administering this tool however we are delighted to share with you that the new administrator of this tool will be the Canadian Urban Libraries Council (CULC). CLA has been working with CULC to ensure that existing customer needs are met. More information will be provided through CULC on this transition. In the interim, CULC invites you to update your contact information by clicking the survey link Please take a few moments to complete this in order to assist with the transition and ensure that CULC has accurate information for your institution.
