The CLEVNET Consortium recently celebrated its 40th Anniversary. On December 1, 1982, the fi rst library joined Cleveland Public Library in sharing its automation system. Since then, CLEVNET has grown to include 47 libraries in twelve counties of northern Ohio. Sandusky Library became its ninth member in 1984. Forty years later, the greater celebration might be for the proven value of library cooperation. An independent study completed in 2022 revealed that every $1 spent on libraries in CLEVNET yields $19 of direct service to the public. CLEVNET provides an astonishing 19:1 Returnon-Investment! In addition to saving the public money as a member of CLEVNET, Sandusky Library is also a resource for funding possibilities through the Foundation Directory Online. Individuals and nonprofi t organizations can explore available grant opportunities with just a visit to the Library!
