Annual Membership Fees
Annual SHARE fees are calculated with a Base Fee and Membership Fee. The total annual fee includes the Polaris software and modules, SHARE Mobile Library App, Aspen, and cloudLibrary. Cataloging services, app customization fees, and group purchases are billed separately. Each member will have an annual amount to spend on collection development within cloudLibrary. A library that chooses to purchase additional titles above that amount will be billed separately.
