One might say, he personifies passion. Michael's dedication for creating innovative solutions for libraries and their customers is both unique and inspiring.

During this process Michael was struck by the reality that many libraries view their customers in very contemporary ways researching their preferences, tracking their interests, creating programs designed to bring them back to the library, and providing them with rewarding experiences.
