Library System Change

Exciting changes are coming to Lincs Inspire Libraries

We’re launching a brand-new library management system that will improve the experience for customers and staff.

Our new library system is almost here!

The new system will make it easier to access services and help our teams provide better support. It will also create new opportunities to work more closely with other local authorities. The system will help with many of the things customers use every day, such as:

  • Issuing, returning and renewing books
  • The library catalogue, reservations and payments
  • Information about events, activities and volunteering opportunities
  • A new mobile App, which will be free to download and act as your digital library card with new great features including personalised book recommendations

When is this happening?

The new system launches on 9th July. There will be a short transition period while the new system is set up, meaning some services may be temporarily unavailable during this time. We’ll be back to normal very quickly, so please be patient during this period.

What is unavailable during this period from 5th to 9th July?

Affected Services:

  • Online library accounts
  • Search the catalogue feature
  • Ability to reserve items
  • The Library App

If you need help during this time, please email us at libraries@lincsinspire.com

What to expect during the transition

As with any major change, there will be an adjustment period. Our libraries may be a little busier than usual while staff and customers get used to the new system, but services will continue as normal throughout.

Don’t worry about overdue loans

Fines for overdue loans won’t be charged from 5th July until the new system is up and running on the 9th July.

eBooks and eAudio Books

eBooks and eAudiobooks are unaffected – more information about these services.

What’s next?

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing more about the benefits of the new system and how we’ll support customers through the change. We thank everyone in advance for their patience and understanding.
