Waukesha County Federated Library System (Wisconsin) became a Polaris customer in 2012. In 2015 the eight libraries of neighboring Jefferson County were added to the Polaris automation system to form the Bridges Library System. Bridges represents a combined collection of over 1.8 million volumes and circulates over 4.9 million items annually.
Waukesha and Jeffferson counties are situated east of Madison and west of Milwaukee in Wisconsin. Bridges is comprised of 24 member libraries (16 from Waukesha County and 8 from Jefferson County).
As a multi-site system, Bridges has done a very nice job of personalizing the PowerPAC for the individual member libraries. If you visit their PowerPAC, be sure and switch between a few of the library locations. Notice how nicely each library site has been customized.
