COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT STRATEGIES

LIBRARY PROGRAMMING
Library programming enables libraries and businesses to develop a list of space requirements. It can also be used to define the digital library services and operations requirements; strategic services that will increase support for your users behavior. Branding spaces and services can be achieved through library programming. The work resides in simple spreadsheets, supported by our library consulting methodology for modern library operations and architecture.
