The challenge

Your community depends on your technology.

Libraries run public-facing technology for thousands of patrons while protecting staff systems and patron privacy.

Public computers and printing

Public workstations need to be reset, filtered, and available every day the doors are open.

Patron Wi-Fi

Reliable public Wi-Fi must stay separated from staff and ILS systems.

Patron privacy

Circulation and patron records deserve the same protection as any sensitive data.
