Why it matters

Libraries help communities remember

Libraries preserve knowledge, stories, and access for future generations. Family photographs are part of that mission. Photomyne gives patrons a practical, dignified way to protect the photos that connect families, neighborhoods, and generations.

Preserve family history

Patrons digitize and restore printed photos before they fade, keeping family history safe for the next generation.

Strengthen community connection

A shared program brings people together around local history, nostalgia, and the stories that define a community.

Bring digital access to memories

Give thousands of patrons a high-value digital tool that feels personal: practical for the library, meaningful for families.

The library program

A memory-preservation benefit built for libraries and districts

Bring Photomyne to your patrons through a library-provided access program designed around your community’s size, branches, and goals. Our team helps you find the right setup.

  • Offered as a patron benefit, provided by the library.
  • Scales from a single branch to a full library district.
  • Seamlessly connects to your library’s existing patron authentication systems.
  • Photomyne follows up with options based on your size and goals.

Start with a pilot or go district-wide

Tell us about your community and we’ll propose the right path: from a focused pilot to a branch program to a district-wide rollout.

Good to know

Questions libraries ask first

Is there a cost to patrons?
Patron access is provided through your library program, so it’s offered as a benefit of being a patron.
How do patrons sign up?
Activation is quick and runs on the patron’s own phone. We tailor the exact method to your program so it fits how your community already engages with the library.
How is patron data protected?
Patron privacy comes first. Photos and personal information are handled under Photomyne’s privacy policy.
Can we start with a pilot?
Yes. Tell us your community size and goals, and we’ll propose options, from a focused pilot to a full patron-access program.
Can this support large library districts?
Programs are built to scale from a single branch to a full district, so community-wide access is supported.
Does it integrate with our existing systems?
Yes. Photomyne connects to a range of library patron and authentication systems, so access can fit the tools you already use to manage cardholders.

Help your community carry its memories forward

Every family has photos worth saving. Give your patrons a simple, meaningful way to preserve them, and become the place where your community’s history is kept alive.
