From the meeting
At the October 5, 2026 library board meeting, staff said Lakeland libraries were switching from Sierra to Polaris for the integrated library system (ILS). The new system was still in development, with a tentative launch in early September 2027, and staff had not yet received next-step details. This is a multi-library platform change that creates implementation, training, and integration follow-on work over the next year.
The key buying trigger is the migration itself, not a new open solicitation.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will City of Hastings issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Hastings's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
