Colorado Library Card (CLC)

(Are you a SLV resident who wants an ASU Nielsen Library card?)

The CLC program allows patrons from one Colorado library to check out materials from another Colorado library. For example, ASC patrons can check out materials from Durango Public Library, Denver Public Library, and Colorado State University. Almost all of Colorado's public libraries and public school libraries participate. About two-thirds of Colorado's academic libraries are participants. Also, some medical, legal, and specialty libraries participate.

How does the program work?

You take your ASU library card to another participating library in the state. You will be able to check out materials from that library. To return materials, you may return them to any participating library, including to Nielsen Library.

The reverse is also true. A person who holds a library card at any other participating library may check out books from Nielsen Library. These books may be returned to any participating library in the state, and that library will return the books to us.
