Burbio.com, a community events platform that streams events from library, school, government and community calendars, and Plymouth Rocket, the leading developer of web solutions for libraries, today announced a partnership integrating events from the libraries in the Plymouth Rocket network into the Burbio service.  

          Burbio.com operates a free personalized website, iOS and Android App and Alexa Skill that pulls event information from public websites and allows residents to follow calendars, receive personalized event feeds, and be notified when events change.   Burbio.com is adopted by libraries and governments as a tool for community engagement, as it allows for residents to find everything going on in a town in one place with a personalized experience.   

EventKeeper by Plymouth Rocket  is a calendar solution that libraries use to manage event registration and present events to patrons via web and mobile.   Burbio.com pulls information from Plymouth Rocket's Eventkeeper service, which allows residents to click through for event registration and update information at the library site.  As part of the partnership the two companies will be working on initiatives to tag event information to further personalize residents experience and make smarter recommendations about library activities to Burbio users. 

  

"We are thrilled to work with Plymouth Rocket," said Burbio.com co-founder Julie Roche.   "Libraries are thought leaders in technology and communication, and Plymouth Rocket's position as a leader in library management software makes them a perfect partner."

"The issue of community engagement is paramount for libraries as they are hubs of activity for the towns they serve,' said Plymouth Rocket President Ric Bailey.  "Burbio's automated system, which aggregates local events and requires no incremental work for civic partners, is a great solution."

Burbio publishes in over 200 communities and is expanding rapidly.   Among Plymouth Rocket libraries that have adopted Burbio are Westborough, MA,  East Meadow, NY and Thomaston CT, with more launching weekly.
