01 — Unlimited Venues
Any venue. No cap.

Add museums, parks, zoos, cultural institutions, and recreation areas — as many as your community has to offer. Patrons search by location, keyword, and date to find what's available to them.

02 — Any Device
Print it or add it to a wallet.

Patrons choose how they redeem. Passes work printed at home or saved to Google and Apple Wallet. No smartphone required. No new app to download.

03 — Multi-Library Ready
One dashboard. Full stop.

Whether your program covers one branch or seventy libraries across a state, every update you make goes live everywhere, instantly. No manual updates per location.

Built for consortiums, not tourism

Most pass systems don't know what a library consortium is. Ours does.

Most pass systems were built for parks departments or tourism boards. They don't account for library card credentials, multi-library consortiums, or the reporting directors actually need. LocalHop was built around how library pass programs actually operate — not retrofitted to fit them.

ILS integration included.

Patron eligibility is verified against your library's existing system. No separate login. No new account. Patrons use the card they already have.

One update. Every library.

Change a venue in LocalHop and it reflects instantly across every participating library. A committee of three can manage a statewide program without chasing down individual updates.

Reporting built for library directors.

Customizable reports show which venues patrons are booking, which libraries are most active, and where engagement is growing — the data your board actually asks for.

Branding stays yours.

The pass portal is fully customizable to match your library's existing website. Patrons see your program, not a third-party tool.

The Card That Does More

The library card was always bigger than the library.

Staff stop managing pass logistics manually.

One update in LocalHop reaches every venue listing, every library, every place people see it — all at once. No spreadsheets. No email chains to participating venues. No outdated listings.

Patrons get more from the card they already carry.

Everyone who uses the library already has what they need. Activity passes give that card a new role — and give patrons a reason to engage with the library between checkouts.

Statewide programs launch in months.

The Iowa Adventure Pass went live across 70 libraries in three months. When management is centralized and your ILS is already connected, complex programs don't require complex timelines.

The data shows you where to grow.

Reporting across venues, libraries, and time periods shows which passes are being redeemed, when, and by which patrons — the usage picture you need to justify the program to your board.

In the Wild

70 libraries. 3 months. One statewide system.

The Challenge

A committee of three librarians was managing a statewide pass program across 70 libraries — with no centralized system, no automation, and no way to push updates to all locations at once. When a venue changed, every library had to be updated individually. The system fell apart.

What LocalHop Built

Any change to a venue now reflects instantly across all 70 libraries. Custom ILS integration meant patrons used the library card they already had. The committee went from chasing manual updates to managing the entire statewide program independently.

The Result

From announcement to go-live: three months. Staff walked away from manual logistics entirely. The committee gained full management independence and hasn't looked back.

Your library card can do more than check out books.

The demo covers how your library currently manages pass programs, what venues would make sense for your community, and what an Activity Pass portal would look like on your site.
