We know that part of your mission as a library leader is to empower library patrons and staff to focus less on circulation tasks and more on meaningful connections.
Bob Rolfe (former director of the Hennepin County Library in Minnesota) had this in mind when he co-founded Tech Logic in 1997. Under his leadership, we produced North America’s first library-specific automated material handling (AMH) system. To this day, our success is tied directly to the success of our library partners and with the library industry as a whole.
Tech Logic provides solutions that automate workflows throughout the library. Because we focus exclusively on library technology, we bring a level of customization and service to libraries that inspires our customers to choose us year after year.
In 2005, The Library Corporation (TLC) became our parent company. TLC has been a US-based and family-owned company (certified WOSB) since its founding in 1974. For over 45 years, TLC has provided solutions for all kinds of libraries—from single sites to the largest systems in the world.
Because Tech Logic has gone all in on our niche in the library industry, we have the dedicated bandwidth to truly consult with each of our existing and prospective library partners. We would welcome the opportunity to continue this conversation with you and, ultimately, to partner with you in your mission to empower your library and your community.
I love working with the folks at Tech Logic. Of all the companies I have regular contact with, Tech Logic is the one that I look forward to. Professional, and timely. Plus, I get REAL answers, not sidesteps or dismissals.
Great support from people who demonstrate that they care about my organization...I work with a lot of vendors' tech support—Tech Logic's is by far the best.
Always responsive and timely...very good technical assistance!
Excellent support and people.
