Public libraries are essential spaces in our communities, providing access to knowledge and resources for all. As the world changes and evolves, so do public libraries – they need to be flexible and able to adapt to new demands. This is why universities, schools, and public libraries need to look into transformation and meeting spaces that can help them stay up-to-date with the changing needs of their patrons. Here we’ll discuss how these types of spaces can help keep public libraries functional for everyone!

Today, public libraries are facing demands of all shapes and sizes. From community meetings to educational sessions to speakers, there’s no shortage of ways their space can be used – but with an ever-growing collection of books and other materials, it may feel like a challenge to make room for everyone.

That’s where Spacesaver comes in! Our team of storage experts works diligently to help library staff find the space they need. And this blog is just the start – we’ll spend the next few months providing examples and solutions that can help you accommodate your patrons’ needs without breaking the budget.

INDEXING YOUR LIBRARY’S STORAGE

The first step? Assessing how your space is currently used and outlining what more you would like from it. That way, when it comes time to choose shelving systems, you know which one fits best for both your materials AND your customers. Take our high-density mobile shelving (HDMS) system: it helps libraries store more materials without taking up too much square footage – freeing up extra room for patrons!

INCREASING CIRCULATION FOR ACTIVITIES

With a little ingenuity – not to mention some nifty HDMS shelving – you have plenty of options for utilizing extra space in your library. So get creative – host seminars on current events or invite local authors in for book readings! The possibilities are endless – so let’s get started!

When it comes to meetings, presentations and classes – having the right storage solution is essential. Spacesaver’s Flexible Shelving not only provides ample space for all your materials, but its caster bases allow you to relocate at a moment’s notice, so the community can have maximum impact.

And if you’re running a public library, children’s room or maker space, knowing that the materials are secure is key. That’s where S.R Ranganathan’s fifth law of Library Science comes in; creating an environment that allows growth and quick access to those materials.

Spacesaver Storage Solutions offers secure lockers with various locking mechanisms and finishes so patrons can confidently store their belongings while accessing information within the building walls or digitally.
