In 2013, 44 libraries selected the Polaris Integrated Library System, representing over 130 new locations adopting Polaris library software throughout the U.S. and Paris, France, the company said in a news release.

Founded in 2003, Polaris Library Systems provides software for academic, private, and public libraries.
