Previously known as LMS, MSE Library Multimedia are one of the UK and Ireland’s largest suppliers of entertainment products for rental to local authorities for libraries, schools and prisons. Altogether, they supply in excess of 100 local authorities, over half the total number in the UK and the Republic of Ireland.

MSE Library Multimedia focuses exclusively on the public sector, and the people they employ reflect this; many are ex-librarians with impeccable understanding of the market’s needs. As a result, MSE Library Multimedia doubled in size between 2008 and 2010.

MSE Library Multimedia expect continued growth in this sector for two reasons. First, local authorities and libraries increasingly recognise the value of lending DVDs and other entertainment products. It has become their primary source of revenue and an invaluable income stream. Second, the quality of the service offered by MSE Library Multimedia is, literally, second to none.

The MSE Library Multimedia Service
At the heart of the service is the company’s dedicated account managers, who have great enthusiasm and total commitment coupled with unparalleled knowledge of the sector.

Technology
The technological capabilities MSE provide are entirely tailored to libraries for a smooth, efficient service. Catalogue records, EDI trading and access to millions of pounds’ worth of stock form the basis of MSE’s service; all this at competitive prices.

Marketing In addition, MSE can fund marketing and actively drive promotions. MSE Library Multimedia supply prizes for competitions, enabling libraries to run events in their local media and attract more visitors and issues.

MSE Library Multimedia recognise that the time which library personnel can spend on promoting their film and music rental section is limited. So MSE propose marketing campaigns, give practical, detailed assistance with merchandising and even supply artwork for materials. The company understands how important rentals income is to libraries, and how vital it is to maximise its potential. That’s where working with MSE Library Multimedia makes a big difference.

Warehouse visits Local authorities are always welcome to send personnel to MSE’s 35,000 square foot warehouse in Warrington to stock-pick from its extensive range for themselves. In this way, librarians can utilise their knowledge of their local demographic to choose titles which they can be confident will do well – titles they might not previously have known existed.

No other library entertainment supplier offers this service on this scale.
