Keystone Systems Keystone Systems provides an integrated library system (KLAS) and support services to libraries, bus

For over 30 years, Keystone Systems has been helping organizations make their library available in a whole new way. The Keystone Library Automation System, KLAS, provides all the core features of an integrated library system with additional functionalities necessary for the specialized organizations we serve on a daily basis. Simply, KLAS helps you get information to the people who want it. Many o

rganizations see themselves as having a traditional library — shelves with books on them. Many others don't identify themselves as having a library, but still have a collection of information resources that they need to be able to make available. Each may call it something different, but it all boils down to the same thing — they have knowledge they need to be able to share with others. What do you call the collection of information you share with the public? Library
Information Repository
Knowledge Center
Information Hotline
Reference Center
Resource Center

No matter how you refer to it, read further to see some of the innovative features that Keystone and KLAS can bring your traditional library, talking book library, resource center, association or other organization.

"The Braille Tales program, a partnership between Dolly Parton's Imagination Library and the American Printing House for the Blind launched in 2011. Starting the next year, it has sent one braille book every other month to children under 6 in the U.S. who are blind or have low vision.

5,600 families have participated in the program, and over 110,000 books have been mailed out...

This access can be especially life-changing for these families, as braille books for young children often aren’t stocked in libraries or book stores."

“None of my son’s needs are special,” Jessica Caromile says of her 12-year-old, who is blind — and she believes the late country music legend understood this, too.
