North Bethesda, MD, December 6, 2012. LibLime, a division of PTFS, announces that Arapahoe Public Library (Nebraska) has chosen LibLime Koha as their next generation ILS to replace their legacy system. Arapahoe Public Library joins the Pioneer consortium in using LibLime Koha for all collection and patron management services.
Arapahoe, NE was settled in 1871 with a post office sawmill and gristmill shortly established thereafter. It is currently home to the Our Lady of Fatima Shrine, a veteran’s memorial, numerous parks and ballfields, city pool, municipal golf course, volunteer operated movie theater and more.

About the Pioneer Consortium
The Pioneer Consortium continues to expand the number of members that share the LibLime Koha union catalog. The successes of the early members of the consortium are noticed by more and more libraries around the state and the consortium membership continues to grow. One of the main attractions is access to the LibLime Koha union catalog. http://pioneer.kohalibrary.com
