Unique Management president Rob Klaus will be on hand in Renton, Washington April 8–11 to connect with Evergreen libraries and discuss solutions supporting modern ILS environments.
Unique is excited to announce that we will be represented at the 2026 Evergreen International Conference in Renton, Washington. This year's conference theme, "Evergreen Forward: Anticipate. Innovate. Elevate.", brings together members of the Evergreen open-source ILS community to discuss development, infrastructure, and the evolving needs of libraries using the platform.
Hosted by King County Library System, the event features pre-conference sessions, hackfests, and multiple tracks covering Evergreen development, system administration, resource sharing, and new feature updates. Unique looks forward to connecting with Evergreen administrators, developers, and library leaders to discuss how communication tools and borrower automation can complement and extend ILS workflows.
Attendees will have the opportunity to speak with President Rob Klaus and learn about Unique's solutions like MessageBee, our Automated Borrower Tools, and Gentle Nudge Material Recovery. Unique welcomes conversations with Evergreen libraries about improving patron communication, streamlining borrower management, and supporting staff workflows alongside their ILS.
Unique's Automated Borrower Renewal and Verified Borrower Registration are tools from Unique that simplify and automate the library card renewal and registration process for libraries. The system connects to your library's ILS and scans the patron database for patrons that have moved, and can automatically verify patron records for new card signups. Both processes are completely automated, saving both staff and patron time and effort.
"We're excited to connect with members of the Evergreen community and learn from the libraries and technologists who help shape the platform," said Rob Klaus ahead of the event. "Open-source ILS environments like Evergreen thrive on collaboration, and we're looking forward to the conversations that help libraries continue improving their systems and services."
