The Catamount Library Network[2] is incorporated as a 501(c)(3) organization, governed by a 5-member board, chosen by a council composed of one representative from each member library, and officers (president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer), chosen by the board.

[3] In addition, two groups have been established with representatives from each library, to address, respectively, cataloging and circulation & loans issues arising within the CLN.

Initially, the CLN planned to use the Evergreen Integrated Library System,[6] but later selected Koha as its ILS.

As a result of concern over unrecovered transition costs from Lawrence Memorial leaving CLN, the board voted on September 22, 2014, to require new members to pay a non-refundable deposit of $350(US).

The Catamount Library Network's common Koha database and software are hosted by ByWater Solutions.
