Did you know? Rochester Hills Public Library unified its systems in just two months

 

For many public libraries, juggling fragmented systems is more than an IT issue, it’s a barrier to providing seamless patron experiences. Rochester Hills Public Library (RHPL) in Michigan recently showed what’s possible when those silos disappear. By moving to Vega LX ecosystem, they streamlined operations and unlocked new ways to engage their community, proving that transformation doesn’t have to take years. 

Here are a few quick wins from their journey: 

  1. Unified staff workflows

Before Vega LX, staff were managing multiple logins and disconnected tools. Within two months, RHPL transitioned to a single platform that simplified daily work and freed staff to focus on patrons rather than systems. 

  1. Faster connections with patrons

By consolidating patron data, the library gained a clearer view of its community. Staff could deliver more personalized interactions, anticipate needs, and spend less time toggling between systems. 

  1. More engaging digital experiences

With Vega LX, RHPL moved beyond static catalogs to create experiences that reflect how people search and discover new titles. Patrons now enjoy a more intuitive journey across resources mirroring the kind of digital experiences they expect everywhere else. 

  1. Proof that transformation can be fast

Perhaps the most striking outcome: the entire shift happened in just two months. For directors weighing change, RHPL’s story demonstrates that adopting a modern platform doesn’t mean years of disruption, it can deliver value almost immediately. 

 

Why this matters for your library 

Rochester Hills Public Library’s success underscores a broader truth: unified systems don’t just make life easier for staff, they elevate the patron journey.
