New Haven Public Schools Delighted to Return to TLC Family

The Library Corporation (TLC) is pleased to announce the recent implementation of LibrarySolution for Schools for another returning customer: New Haven Public Schools (NHPS) in Connecticut. After a thoughtful deliberation process, NHPS chose a return to TLC, their previous library management vendor of 11 years prior to 2015. NHPS staff were pleased with the seamless data migration provided by TLC for transaction and materials records.

The school district includes 39 library sites across New Haven — the same Connecticut city home to Ivy League Yale University — serving over 187,000 title records and approximately 495,000 items to more than 20,000 students in the district. As with all migrations, TLC ensured that all records matched from NHPS’s former library management system in the transfer to LibrarySolution for Schools. 

“I have been so pleased with every step of our process with TLC,” expressed Kim Rogers, Librarian Lead at New Haven Public Schools. She went on to compliment TLC’s consultative approach for NHPS to make a well thought out decision to move back to TLC and for the whole transition process to be smooth and easy to understand. “New Haven Public Schools is so pleased to have come back to the best solution for library management.” 

Annette Murphy, CEO and founder, welcomed the district back to the TLC family and shared, “It’s more important than ever to our communities and our neighbors to have library services available to students. We’re looking forward to supporting New Haven Public Schools in providing excellence to their students and faculty.”
