Gates Public Library:

This library installation we completed was at Gates Public Library. They already had an existing screen on their first level that they were currently updating with a USB stick, which was a bit inconvenient, but was working for them. However, when they planned to expand their digital signage network, it became obvious that they were in need of cloud-based software. We were able to quickly convert their content over to a format that would fit with the most affordable digital signage software on the market today. We installed a brand new digital sign on a single post kiosk and converted their current screen over to digital signage software. Now they are capable of updating both signs from a central location and keep their patrons updated on library events and news.

Webster Public Library

 Webster Library was undergoing major renovations that would include moving their entrance from one side of the building to the complete opposite side to reduce parking issues. This would change the entire layout of the library and librarians were concerned that patrons wouldn’t be able to find what they were looking for. With that, our team set to work to develop a dynamic 3D rendering of their building. The Library also wanted to integrate their database into the kiosk, but a complete integration simply did not work with their time constraints or budget. So we created a seamless I-Frame integration with an interactive keyboard for searching. We were also incorporated a “New Book” RSS feed straight from the library website on to the kiosk’s home page that would automatically update when the website was updated.
“WITH OUR NEW RENOVATION UNDERWAY, THIS INTERACTIVE KIOSK WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT TOOL FOR THE INTRODUCTION OF OUR NEW LAYOUT AND WILL BE UTILIZED TO GREET PATRONS, ASSIST WITH NAVIGATING THE NEW FLOOR PLAN, FINDING COLLECTIONS AND BEING AWARE OF THE CHANGES AND ONGOING EVENTS.” –ANNA SOUANNAVONG, WEBSTER LIBRARY
