Removing barriers to access is a core objective of public libraries. In a digital-first world, requiring patrons to physically come to the library to get a library card or renew their account can be a significant hurdle. On the other hand, how do you ensure that no one is gaming the system and creating accounts that they aren't entitled to? Our upcoming webinar Verify, Renew, Reach: Smarter Patron Engagement for Public Libraries will show you how your library can improve access without sacrificing secure registration.

We invite you to join us on Tuesday, June 16 at 1pm ET to see how two Springshare Tools can be used in tandem to verify patrons, renew cards, and reach new users.
Patron Verify & Renew guides the entire borrower journey – from application to renewal – to combine automated verification with customizable library control at every step. Behind the scenes, intelligent address validation, district verification, and ILS record matching ensure your library maintains control over access and data integrity.
Combined with LibPost, your library can proactively reach new movers in your community, introducing them to your library and making it effortless for them to sign up for a card instantly. New movers are uniquely primed to sign up for a library card. LibPost delivers targeted outreach straight to their mailbox. Paired with the seamless digital signup experience of Patron Verify & Renew, you can turn new residents into engaged library patrons from day one.
This 45-minute webinar will show you how to:
- Remove barriers to getting a library card without sacrificing verification.
- Reduce friction for routine card sign-ups and renewals.
- Proactively reach new movers and turn them into library cardholders.
- Free up staff time spent on manual verification workflows.
Register now and join us on June 16 to grow your patron base and better serve your community!
