Libraries invest in databases, eLearning, and research tools for their communities to use. The BiblioWeb A-Z Online Resource page helps close the distance between those resources and the patrons who need them.

We’ve upgraded the page to make it easier for patrons to find, explore, and share what their library offers, whether they know exactly what they’re looking for or want to browse. It’s one example of how BiblioWeb is built to support public libraries and the patrons they serve.

Three days of conversations, new ideas, and a look at what's ahead for public libraries!

BiblioCon ’26 brought library professionals together to explore how technology is changing the way libraries serve their communities, from AI and digital discovery to accessibility, security, and digital reading.

This year was especially meaningful as we celebrated 20 years of BiblioCommons and reflected on how far the digital library experience has come, with the libraries that helped shape it along the way.

Our latest blog brings together some of the highlights:
➡️ A look at Ask the Library and BiblioRead, two new initiatives taking shape
➡️ What's ahead on the BiblioCommons product roadmap
➡️ Lessons from Chicago Public Library, Toronto Public Library, and Columbus Metropolitan Library on how libraries are approaching AI

If you work at a public library, we'd like to hear your perspective on AI.

BiblioCommons is inviting library employees to share where their library stands with AI today, how they feel about it, and what matters most as their library explores where AI does or doesn't fit.

➡️ The goal is to help the community better understand how libraries are approaching AI.

Any role and any level of familiarity with AI is welcome. Enthusiastic, cautious, or skeptical, your experience is what makes the results useful.

Survey details:
• Takes 5 to 10 minutes to complete
• Responses are confidential and reported only in aggregate
• Naming your library is optional
• Open through October 15

Take the survey here: https://hubs.li/Q04zt-P_0

After the survey closes, we’ll share what we learned. 📊
