Gale Engage is Here
Take a closer look and discover features designed to enhance your public library system's capabilities.
From ready-to-use visualizations to patron grouping (based on transaction history and engagement with library services), Gale Engage empowers its users to personalize outreach and work more efficiently. Our solution ingests and centralizes library data so you can analyze patron interactions in real time and identify key patterns and behaviors. This information elevates the value of your data, making your public library system more adaptive to the needs of your diverse communities.
Our CRM like system offers a visual display of key metrics allowing for faster and more efficient decision-making. Patron groups allow users to specifically target segments who will benefit and be most interested in your public library's programs and services. Imagine library management from a single comprehensive tool. With accurate data and the ability to engage with your patrons in specific, measurable ways, public libraries can use Gale Engage to be more agile, data driven, and adaptive.
