About us

For over 50 years, Bibliotheca has partnered with libraries to meet the needs of their communities worldwide. Things are changing at lightning speed. It’s time to imagine what a library can do—what a library can be—today and tomorrow. Libraries are competing with the best in consumer technologies and can’t afford to stick with the status quo. At Bibliotheca, we aren’t just keeping up with the times, we’re inventing the future. Through integrated technology we reimagine how libraries function, to inspire and delight all kinds of people, wherever they are: at home, on the move, or within the library walls. Bibliotheca works with over 30,000 libraries around the globe to make the library experience—physical and digital—seamless, intuitive, and inclusive. We work wonders for library staff too. As degreed librarians and avid library users, we understand not only the unique management challenges that libraries face, but also what the future of library service will demand. We pair global insight with strong local support, so no matter where you are, we’ve got a team nearby to help you make sure your library is ready.
