At Bibliotheca, we believe innovation should serve a purpose far greater than just technology for technology’s sake. Our mission has always been to empower libraries to evolve—proactively and confidently—by creating solutions that support transformation, inclusivity, and long-term impact.
That’s why we introduced the Bibliotheca Alliance: a global network of trusted allies, united by a shared commitment to shaping the future of libraries.
What is the Bibliotheca Alliance?
The Bibliotheca Alliance is a carefully curated group of forward-thinking organisations working together to deliver meaningful innovation to libraries around the world. This isn’t just a vendor collaboration—it’s a strategic ecosystem built on trust, shared values, and the belief that libraries deserve the best solutions possible.
Through this alliance, we integrate the strengths of each collaborator into a holistic portfolio—one that’s adaptable, scalable, and ready to meet the evolving needs of public, academic, and special libraries alike.
Meet Our Allies in Innovation
Each Alliance collaborator brings something distinct, yet aligned with our mission to create libraries that are inclusive, connected, and future-ready:
- Hublet
Enables safe and seamless tablet lending to support digital inclusion and flexible access to eResources—perfect for users on the move or without personal devices.
- Telelift
Provides advanced, automated material handling systems that streamline logistics and free up staff time—boosting efficiency in even the busiest libraries.
- Senserbot
Delivers autonomous RFID shelf-scanning powered by precise, in-house navigation. This innovative solution ensures collection accuracy while saving valuable staff resources.
- Omron
Specialises in robotic technology that enhances accessibility, interaction, and service design—opening new opportunities to create welcoming spaces for every user.
Together, we’re not just filling gaps—we’re co-developing solutions that redefine what libraries can achieve.
Why the Alliance Matters
Libraries are under increasing pressure to adapt to shifting user expectations, digital transformation, and tighter resources. The Bibliotheca Alliance helps address these challenges head-on by bringing purposeful innovation to the forefront—solutions that not only modernise library operations but also elevate user experience.
At the heart of the Alliance is a collaborative spirit. We work closely with our allies and libraries to ensure that each innovation reflects local needs while benefitting from global insight.
Our approach allows libraries to move from reactive to strategic—unlocking new ways to connect with users, expand access, and demonstrate their continued relevance in the digital age.
Real Solutions. Real Impact.
The Alliance is already delivering tangible value in libraries across the globe. From deploying smart automation to improve turnaround times, to enabling 24/7 access in rural communities, our joint efforts are helping libraries evolve with confidence.
We also support implementation with resources and training, so teams feel empowered—not overwhelmed—by new technology.
Looking Ahead
As we grow the Bibliotheca Alliance, we’re exploring exciting opportunities, including:
- Immersive learning through AR/VR
- Privacy-first digital services
- Advanced data tools for service planning
- Sustainability at the core of every solution
The goal? Resilient, accessible, and dynamic libraries that continue to serve as essential pillars of their communities.
One Alliance. One Shared Mission.
The Bibliotheca Alliance is more than a strategy—it’s a movement toward a better library future. Together with our collaborators, we’re building connected ecosystems of tools, systems, and services designed to support libraries today and into tomorrow.
Innovation is stronger when shared. With the Bibliotheca Alliance, we’re proving just how powerful that belief can be.
