The MLAs were established to recognize the top products and services in the library industry in an unbiased format. Potential products were sent to the LibraryWorks database of over 90,000 librarians for review. Only customers with experience using these products or services in their facilities were allowed to judge them, resulting in a truly unbiased score.
Patron Point scored a total of 9.05/10 after being evaluated on multiple criteria including quality, functionality, and overall satisfaction. Notably, their highest scoring category was for their quality of service. One judge remarked, “Their support team is fantastic and gets back to me right away in a very clear, communicative way whenever I have a question.”
