Ability to stretch your library budget with significant cost savings on popular library services and products
An annual opportunity to highlight your library & scholarship at your institution with the ACL Research Award
Library resource sharing through OCLC’s Christian Library Network
An annual subscription for your library to ACL’s journal, The Christian Librarian
The ability to send one non-ACL member from your library to the ACL Annual Conference at the member rate ($90 savings)
Who can join the Christian Library Consortium (CLC)?
Any Christian academic institution of higher education who has at least one full individual ACL member.
