What Our Members Say

“All of the resources we get through our membership in LION – the shared catalog, certainly, but also the e-materials, the technology support and the delivery service – allow our Library to be far more valuable to patrons than we could ever be otherwise. Perhaps more importantly, being a member of LION means being part of a community of shared purpose and shared expertise. The staff of LION and of its member libraries are dedicated, knowledgeable and generous, and the relationships we build with each other often prove to be indispensable.” 

Eric Werthmann

Director

Woodbridge Town Library

“As a smaller library, we greatly value our LION membership.  The LION staff is flexible and responsive, the shared catalog and delivery service complement our collections in a timely manner, and the network of library professionals is top notch.”

Katherine Nazarian

Interim Director

Mitchell College Library

“Our investment in LION membership provides an excellent return on every dollar. Not only does being a LION member allow for seamless sharing & delivery of materials across libraries, LION also provides exceptionally thorough, timely, and affordable IT support, ILS, cataloging, web & email hosting, shared digital content, and collaboration. Procuring those services independently would simply not be cost-effective for our library. LION’s commitment to efficiency and service for its member libraries helps make the Wallingford Public Library shine.”
