2025 Book Systems Accomplishments Narrative

At Book Systems, we continued to experience strong growth across both public and school library markets this year, adding 77 new public library customers and 119 school libraries to the Atriuum platform. Our public library sales were strongest in the Midwest, especially in Kansas and Michigan, and we also saw meaningful growth throughout the Southeastern United States, including Kentucky and Tennessee. Most public library migrations came from Auto-Graphics Verso and TLC. One of our most notable wins was the Southwest Kansas Library System, which includes 32 member libraries that voted to switch from Auto-Graphics Verso to Atriuum ASP. This was an important milestone for us and demonstrates Atriuum’s ability to support multi-branch library systems.

Growth in the school library market was driven largely by libraries switching from Follett products, particularly Destiny. We also gained traction across the Southeastern states, including Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Tennessee. Atriuum Express remains the preferred option for K–12 schools, while public libraries use both Express and ASP hosting models depending on their needs.

In January 2025, we launched the Atriuum Stax Circulation Workspace with a clear goal: to make powerful circulation tools available wherever librarians work. Whether staff are at a service desk, moving through the stacks, or using a tablet on the go, Stax adapts seamlessly to the screen in front of them. This same philosophy guides our broader product design. We are committed to making our features accessible to both librarians and patrons across all devices, from desktop computers to tablets and smartphones. No matter what screen someone prefers or happens to be using, they can expect a consistent, fully functional experience. Adoption has been encouraging, with 496 libraries now using Stax Circulation and 1,053 staff members actively working in the platform.

At the same time, we made significant enhancements to our Gallery OPAC to improve how patrons discover library materials. Gallery’s Advanced Facets allow users to quickly sort search results by Title, Topic, Author, and Series. Browsing by Topic offers a more visual and engaging way for patrons to explore collections by subject and uncover materials that match their interests, making discovery easier and more intuitive. We also introduced the ability for libraries to apply their own branding colors to Gallery, helping them better reflect their identity online. These same branding settings now carry over to the Librista patron app, creating a consistent experience across web and mobile platforms.

We continue to see growth in patron engagement using the Librista app, with 14,968 users signed up to receive notifications, showing how much patrons value real-time updates from their libraries.

Overall, this past year reflects our ongoing commitment to innovation, our ability to compete successfully against long-established vendors, and our dedication to supporting libraries, whether they are automating for the first time or changing from an existing system.
