We are delighted to announce 2 new customers this month.
Devon Libraries and Gateshead Libraries have decided to join the growing number of UK public libraries subscribing to smartsm and we look forward to working closely with them going forward.
Colin Bray, Adult Lending Services Manager, Devon Libraries commented "Devon Libraries have chosen to work with Bridgeall Libraries because we recognise the importance of evidence-based decisions in stock management. Smartsm will provide us with the evidence to manage stock effectively and efficiently - in both self service libraries and across the rest of the service."
