Williamsburg Regional Library Adds Gentle Nudge

Williamsburg Regional Library Adds Gentle Nudge

Williamsburg Regional Library has partnered with Unique to use Gentle Nudge to protect their materials in circulation. By adding the service, the three-branch library system will now keep a larger proportion of their materials in circulation, thanks to the third-party leverage that Unique brings to all of their clients. The Unique service also removes the need for an internal process, while the library will remain in control of their accounts.
