TLC is celebrating 50 years!

“We are excited to share this significant moment with you and express our gratitude for your continued support. Thank you for being a part of TLC’s success story for 50 excellent years in the industry, and for many more to come.”

– Annette H. Murphy, CEO and founder

Founded in 1974, The Library Corporation (TLC) is thrilled to celebrate 50 years in business in 2024! TLC has remained a beacon of excellence in library technology since it was founded by the family that still owns and operates the company today.

To mark this monumental milestone and honor the library professionals who contributed through the years, TLC will host multiple celebrations throughout the year ahead.

We couldn’t have done it without you!

And we’d love to hear YOUR story, too! Can you think of a moment in our mutual histories that really stands out? What about when your library first went automated… Or when one of our top-notch support reps saved the day? We’d love to hear about it.

Throughout the years, we’ve heard how much our customers love TLC swag: from our Scout plushies to our “Libraries are Essential” t-shirts, our bumper stickers and our eco-friendly tote bags.

For the 50th celebration, we’re looking to make our TLC swag available to everybody through an online swag store, including limited edition 50th Anniversary items. But first, we need to know… What should we stock?
