BiblioBoard® Adds More Publishers to Their PatronsFirst Mobile Platform

In advance of the 2014 Frankfurt Book Fair, BiblioBoard® announces more publishers added to their PatronsFirst™ mobile platform. BiblioBoard is constantly adding publishers to their platform, which now offers tens of thousands of pieces of content. Patrons can enjoy the content with multi-user access on the web or on award-winning native devices, all without user limits.

Launched just 18 months ago, BiblioBoard Library already serves 15 million patrons and is accessible in over 2,000 public, academic and K-12 libraries worldwide. The platform of choice for three statewide eBook projects, BiblioBoard continues to provide libraries of all types and sizes with the tools they need to serve patrons on the web and on mobile devices.

Many libraries choose BiblioBoard because it offers affordable pricing for publisher content, which can be purchased as an annual subscription or as a perpetual sale. "This sales model is hard to find and in high demand," says Mitchell Davis, founder and Chief Business Officer of BiblioLabs. "Libraries have limited budgets and limitless goals for digital content.The publishers we work with understand that helping libraries helps their publishing house, and they are already seeing the benefit of adopting this innovative digital strategy."
