At International Library Services (ILS), we believe access to library materials shouldn’t stop when the doors close - or when geography, staffing, or budgets get in the way.
That’s why we design self-service library lending kiosks, media vending machines, and smart lockers that help libraries extend their reach, increase circulation, and serve their communities 24/7.
To create a world where every person -regardless of location, circumstance, or background - has effortless access to the knowledge, resources, and opportunities that libraries provide. We envision empowered communities, strengthened by technology that makes learning available anytime, anywhere.
Libraries are one of the most trusted institutions in the world. Our purpose is to help them extend that trust and impact - especially where access has historically been limited by hours, geography, staffing, budget, or infrastructure.
For more than 45 years, we have been committed to standing alongside libraries as trusted partners in access, innovation, and service. We listen first, design with purpose, and deliver technology that strengthens your mission - not complicates it.
Grounded in decades of experience serving libraries of all sizes, our commitment is to provide reliable, flexible solutions that help libraries reach more people, serve diverse communities, and extend learning beyond physical walls. We support our customers every step of the way, because when libraries succeed, communities thrive - and that mission is at the heart of everything we do.
We design and deliver library-first outreach technology that works in real communities, real buildings, and real budgets.
Our self-service lending kiosks and smart lockers are designed specifically for library materials-books, large print, media, devices, and more-securely and efficiently.
ILS solutions increase circulation and availability without increasing staff workload or operating costs, making extended access sustainable.
Our machines are installed where patrons already are:
Community centers
Schools
Campuses
Government buildings
High-traffic indoor and outdoor spaces
All materials move directly back into circulation through your existing ILS-no workarounds, no disruption.
Libraries often choose ILS as a high-impact alternative to bookmobiles or brick and mortar, making our solutions well-suited for grant funding and phased outreach strategies.
ILS proudly supports libraries and organizations committed to expanding access and equity, including:
Public Libraries
Academic & University Libraries
K–12 School Libraries
Library Systems & Consortia
Outreach, Equity, and Literacy Programs
Non-Profit Organizations
Medical Patient Life Programs
From rural communities to urban campuses, we help libraries meet patrons where they are - physically and digitally.
We greatly appreciate all the work ILS have done on our behalf. Having a vendor partner willing to help us meet our goal of serving unserved communities and who shares our commitment to providing the best end user experience is invaluable.
