Need new furniture?
Join us on 8/17 for our
Library Furniture Expo!
How's the furniture in your library?
Are there pieces that need to be replaced?
Do you have a new or updated space that needs furnishing?
·
Maybe you're doing a smaller project. You need a few new chairs. Or some soft seating. Or some privacy pods. Or you want to make your outdoor space more functional with
some all-weather furniture.
·
Maybe you're doing a major renovation and you're refurnishing a whole department - or even your entire library.
·
Whatever you're doing, CLC can help!
With the launch of our new furniture
contracts, we've significantly expanded the furniture manufacturers available on a CLC discount contract, AND made purchasing easier than ever. How is this possible? Come to our first-ever
in-person furniture expo and find out!
