PrairieCat partners with Innovative to launch Vega Mobile

 

We at Innovative, from Clarivate, are thrilled to announce that PrairieCat, one of the largest library consortia in Illinois, has chosen Vega Mobile to support their next chapter in digital engagement. With 138 member libraries serving 23 counties, PrairieCat is known for its commitment to collaboration, access, and forward-thinking service. Now, it’s taking a major step toward enhancing the patron experience across its network. They have been a long-time Sierra customer using Vega Discover. 

Vega Mobile is designed to meet patrons where they are, on their phones, with a seamless, intuitive app that brings the library into everyday life. From managing checkouts and holds to exploring events, Vega Mobile empowers users with a full-service library experience in their pocket. 

For PrairieCat, this move is about more than convenience—it’s about connection. With Vega Mobile, patrons will enjoy a unified, branded experience that reflects the identity of their local library while benefiting from the power of a shared system. Real-time updates through native integration with Sierra ensure that every interaction is smooth, secure, and personalized. PrairieCat is excited to bring this level of mobile access to their communities, so Vega Mobile aligns perfectly with their mission to make library services more accessible, inclusive, and engaging. 

As PrairieCat prepares to implement Vega Mobile, we’re proud to support their vision for a more connected, user-centered library experience. This partnership is another example of how Vega LX can help libraries of all sizes lead with technology that’s built for today, and ready for tomorrow.
