Pleasanton, CA – January 15, 2026 – ScannX®, the leading developer of cloud-based book and document scanning solutions for libraries, is proud to announce its receipt of three prestigious platinum and two gold awards in LibraryWorks' 12th annual Modern Library Awards (MLAs). Renowned for its unwavering commitment to impartiality, the MLAs honor the finest products and services in the library industry, as voted on by its subscriber base of librarians.
Participants submitted their entries last fall alongside an enhanced description and supporting materials. The 90,000-strong community of librarians - from public, K-12, academic, and special libraries - within the LibraryWorks database then assessed the products. Only those with firsthand experience could vote, ensuring an unbiased outcome.
"Receiving the platinum distinction for the 12th consecutive year is a testament to our dedication to driving the future of library digitization," said Rebecca Dennis, CEO of ScannX. "We've tirelessly pursued innovation, and this recognition reaffirms our commitment to redefining information access and preservation within libraries worldwide."
