Why more public libraries are switching to an ILS designed specifically for them.

Public Libraries Deserve Better Tools

Public libraries are more than buildings with books. They are centers of connection, education, and public service. But for many library directors and staff, the very software meant to help fulfill that mission has become one of the biggest obstacles.

Legacy systems, outdated workflows, and expensive contracts often make things harder — not easier.

If you’ve ever thought, “This system feels like it was built for someone else,” you’re not alone.

The Problem with Most ILS Vendors

Most Integrated Library Systems (ILS) weren’t designed with small and mid-sized public libraries in mind. They’re built for sprawling academic institutions or patched together through acquisitions by giant vendors.

That means:

• Overcomplicated interfaces
• Unresponsive or outsourced support
• Features you don’t need (and missing the ones you do)
• And a painful lack of flexibility for your unique community needs

The result? Staff burnout, frustrated patrons, and costly workarounds.

Meet Apollo: An ILS Built Only for Public Libraries

And the difference is night and day.

“Apollo was the first time our whole team said, ‘This just works.’”

No More IT Nightmares

Because Apollo is fully cloud-based, your team can access it from anywhere — including working remotely when needed. No more after-hours software patches or trying to troubleshoot on-site server issues. No hidden IT costs. No surprise maintenance fees.

“We used to spend hours every month managing our system. Now it’s almost invisible — in the best way.”
— Library Manager, Iowa

Support That Actually Supports You

With many vendors, getting help means opening a support ticket and hoping someone eventually responds. Not with Biblionix.

Apollo users consistently rave about the quality of the support team — real people who respond quickly, know public libraries, and genuinely care.

You’re not just a contract number. You’re a library partner.

Trusted by Over 950 Libraries — and Growing

Apollo is now trusted by more than 950 public libraries across the U.S. And nearly all of them found Apollo the same way: through word of mouth.

Libraries talk. And what they’re saying about Apollo is clear:

It’s reliable.
It’s easy to use.
And it finally puts public libraries first.

Final Thought

You didn’t become a librarian to manage IT systems, fight with your catalog, or worry about server downtime. You did it to make a difference.

Isn’t it time your software supported that mission?
