Born by libraries. Built for the community.
What patrons see is simple.
What libraries manage isn't.
Libraries coordinate complex programming operations every day,
but most of the tools they're using weren't built to work together.
One program.
Multiple systems.
None of them connected.
Before a patron registers for a single event, someone on your staff has already opened a website backend, a Google Form, a shared calendar, an email list, and a spreadsheet.
That's not a workflow problem. That's time your staff isn't spending with patrons — and it happens before the day even starts.
One System.
No workarounds.
Library programs connect communities to learning, local services, and most often, to each other. Running it well requires more coordination than most software accounts for.
LocalHop is one system for everything your library coordinates.
Control permissions, enforce policies, and keep reporting consistent across every branch and staff team.
Plan programs, manage spaces, and track attendance in one place so staff can focus on serving patrons.

Plan programs, manage spaces, and track attendance in one place so staff can focus on serving patrons.
When your programming works,
everything else gets easier.
Staff runs programs, not systems. Patrons sign up without calling the desk. Branches stay coordinated without the chaos.
Patrons book rooms themselves. Staff get automated confirmations, buffer times, and PIN door access — all built in, nothing to configure.
0 manual check-ins
One calendar across all branches. Post once, publish everywhere — no duplicate entry, no version conflicts, no chasing outdated listings.

Your library card unlocks more than the library. Give patrons access to local venues and cultural experiences — through the card they already have.
Limitless venues, no cap
A library website patrons can use and staff can actually manage. Fully accessible, easy to update, and connected to every LocalHop tool from day one.
WCAG 2.2 AA compliantWhat libraries have to say after the switch.
From small community branches to large multi-system networks.
"Thank you so much for your help and thanks for making this program happen. Our team can't stop commenting on how much better the new system is."
"The new doors have significantly improved our workflow. Staff are now eagerly requesting the same access for our conference rooms."
"The room reservation feature alone saved us hours every week. Patrons book themselves, get PINs automatically, and our staff aren't playing phone tag anymore. It just works."
"Michigan Activity Pass has consistently been one of the ways that having a library card provides additional access outside of library buildings. We are thrilled for our new partnership with LocalHop."
