More hours = more service time
More locations = more opportunities to connect

The question isn’t always
“Can we stay open longer?”
Sometimes it’s
“Can we be closer?”

The goal isn’t simply to stay open longer.
The goal is to be available where and when people need you.

We have to take the library to the people and good technology is only part of the story. Long-term reliability, service, and implementation matter too. Bill McClendon brings decades of library technology experience, helping make sure access solutions are practical, durable, and well supported.

“Heading to ALA with expanded access on your mind? Go in with a plan. Ask how a solution supports real circulation, easy holds pickup, returns, recirculation, service reliability, and the kinds of community locations your patrons already use.

Patron need does not stop at 5 p.m. Families, commuters, students, and busy caregivers all use libraries on real-life schedules. That is why we keep talking about access beyond the building and beyond standard hours.

Share this with someone thinking about how their library can reach more people.

“Why do we exist? Because access should not end when a building closes. We exist to help libraries reach more people, in more places, with smarter ways to browse, borrow, and return materials. More access. More visibility. More opportunity for communities to connect with their library.

Ask us what expanded access could look like for your library.

Bookmobile or kiosk? Sometimes the right answer is both. One brings flexible outreach to rotating stops. The other creates consistent access where patrons already are. The best model depends on your community, your service goals, and the kind of access gap you are trying to close.

Comment with the outreach challenge your library is working through right now.

We’re excited to share a new chapter for International Library Services.

ILS is now operating as an Alabama-based company following a recent ownership transition - positioning us for continued growth and deeper engagement with the library communities we serve.

The company is now led by longtime CTO Bill McClendon, who brings more than 35 years of experience in library technology, alongside Jason Parsley, serving as President.

Together, this leadership team combines deep technical expertise with a strong operational vision for expanding access to library services through innovative 24/7 solutions.

This transition also builds on the foundation established by founder Fred Goodman, whose passion for outreach and accessibility helped shape ILS into what it is today.

While leadership evolves, our mission remains the same:
Expanding library access.
Reaching more communities.
Supporting libraries wherever patrons are.
We’re excited for what’s ahead.
