Polaris Library Systems Announces Strong Third Quarter

Syracuse, NY, October 6, 2011 - Polaris Library Systems, a pioneer in the development of library technology solutions for public, private and academic libraries, today announces that an additional 45 libraries have signed contracts to use the Polaris Integrated Library System (ILS) in the third quarter of 2011. This brings the total number of new library locations served by Polaris year-to-date to 251, and already puts Polaris ahead of 2010 in signed contracts.

New Polaris ILS customers and their previous ILS systems include:

  • Champaign Public Library, IL (Horizon)
  • Sparta Public Library, NJ (Symphony)
  • Lake County/Lowell (shared), IN (Horizon)
  • Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library, KS (Horizon)
  • Coquitlam Public Library, British Columbia, Canada (Vubis Smart)
  • Seton Hill University, PA (Voyager)
  • Washington County Library System, AR (Millennium)
  • Nesmith Library, NH (Destiny)
  • Donald L. Alexander Library, Allegany College of Maryland, MD (Vubis Smart)

"Many of these customers selected Polaris because they needed a system that would help them evolve their staff and patrons' capabilities," said Bill Schickling, President and CEO, Polaris Library Systems. "Our current customers can and do testify that the Polaris ILS does just that, plus it comes with the industry's best customer support. We're a partner, not just a vendor. Libraries appreciate that and so do their patrons, and our growth over the last year is a direct reflection of that philosophy."
