Micro Librarian Systems or MLS for short was first established in 1981 to provide market leading library management systems to schools and colleges in the UK and internationally. In 2018, MLS then rebranded to Capita Reading Cloud and most recently to ESS Reading Cloud (www.ess-readingcloud.co.uk). As MLS we were the first to incorporate the Identikit biometric verification technology into our systems and develop hand-held mobile solutions with the introduction of Pocket Librarian. Today, as ESS Reading Cloud, with well over 30 years’ experience in providing leading library management systems to schools and colleges, we have the scale and capability to keep up with the evolving demands of educators and our expert team are uniquely placed to provide you with the most dynamic and agile solutions in the market.
