Public librarians are at the heart of communities with resources and expertise. Yet, the library website, often the first point of contact for users, can be a source of frustration if it’s hard to update, inaccessible or doesn’t reflect the library’s full value.
“No matter if they are exploring the catalog or receiving a notification, the design makes it clear that they are engaging with the library.” Derek Brown, IT Director at Richmond Hill Public Library, Canada
