Book Systems was founded by Bill Jones, who worked as a librarian for more than 35 years. While attending a national library seminar in Nashville, TN, he mentioned to several people that he and his son were creating an automated library system.
Several of the attending librarians met with Bill offsite that evening where he showed them the program. As soon as he completed his demonstration, fellow librarian Eva Nell Hunter said, "I want it!", becoming the company's first customer. And the rest, as they say, is history.
Through the years, the company has steadily grown from that small family business that began in a basement. In 1996, they took their first big step by moving into an actual office building when they rented Suite 7 at the old Heart of Huntsville Mall.
As the company grew, so did the need for more space. They expanded into Suite 11 just 2 years later, and quickly filled it as well. In February 2006, Book Systems moved to its current location. Today, we serve thousands of customers across the country.
