Event Details

Are you ready to take your community library's catalog online? Small libraries have unique challenges and opportunities, and there just never seems to be enough time or money to accomplish big goals like automating your collection. Good news! There is a realistic solution for libraries with fewer than 20,000 items that helps you streamline your operations and better serve your community.

Introducing TinyCat, a simple, and affordable cataloging solution designed with rural libraries in mind. TinyCat is designed to be easy to use--for both you and your patrons. And it's affordable with a cost-effective subscription plan that won't break the bank.

To learn more and get a demonstration of TinyCat features, watch this recorded webcast at your convenience with the SCKLS team as your trusted guide. And be sure to visit with Lisa Sharbaugh, SCKLS automation and technology services coordinator, as you consider whether TinyCat is the right fit for your library.
