New Year, New Us: Clearview Joins the Marmot Library Network

Libraries work best when they’re connected—to people, ideas, and resources. By joining the Marmot Library Network, Clearview is expanding access to shared collections, offering a smarter and easier-to-use catalog, and strengthening system support and security—all while keeping our focus on serving the local community and the people who rely on their library every day.

Key Dates to Know

System Conversion/Library District Closure: Monday, February 9, 2026 (all day)

New System Live: Tuesday, February 10, 2026

What Is the Marmot Library Network?

The Marmot Library Network is a nonprofit, member-driven library consortium built by libraries, for libraries. Marmot helps libraries work together to share resources, technology, and expertise.

By joining the Marmot Library Network, Clearview connects you to a larger community of libraries across Colorado—making it easier to find, request, and access the materials you’re looking for.

What This Means for Library Patrons:

More to explore: Search and request from a wider shared collection of books, movies, and digital materials from libraries across Colorado.
Easier requesting: Use one shared catalog to find items, place holds, and pick them up at your local library.
Smarter searching: Browse a more user-friendly catalog that brings together different formats—such as print, eBooks, and audiobooks—so it’s easier to find the option that works best for you.
Reliable and secure access: Benefit from systems designed to be dependable and secure over the long term, helping protect your library account and personal information.
Better digital experiences: Enjoy more streamlined access to eBooks and audiobooks across the network.

Important Updates

After the new system goes live on February 10, patrons will be prompted to update their password the first time they log in.

What you need to do:

Create a strong password that is at least 8 characters long and uses a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.

Please complete this update within three months of February 10, 2026. If you do not update your password within this timeframe, you will need to reset it online or contact the library for assistance.

Digital Resources

Libby by OverDrive

Access to eMagazines through Libby by OverDrive will be paused from December 28, 2025, through February 10, 2026, during system upgrades.

After February 10:

Clearview will transition our Libby by OverDrive from the Across Colorado Digital Consortium to the Marmot Library Network.
Patrons will need to update their library network selection to the Marmot Library Network in the Libby app or a saved web browser.
Users must first update their library account password and then re-log in to their account before making these changes.

Re-authentication Needed for Digital Access

After updating your library account password, you may need to log in again to access digital platforms such as Hoopla, Kanopy, or CreativeBug. Simply enter your library card number and new password in the app or browser.

Account Balances & Privacy Updates (After February 10)

Clearview will no longer be able to process credits or refunds on patron accounts.
Only authorized users added to a patron’s account may check out items or pick up holds for another patron.
As always, to protect privacy and security, library staff do not share library card numbers (including partial numbers) with anyone other than the cardholder.
