Libraries

Libraries are no longer mere repositories of the printed word. They have undergone a striking transformation, utilizing new technologies and thoroughly redefining the scope of their public mission. While much of the traditional library remains relevant and even essential - circulation, reference and periodicals - there are now new capabilities and innovative approaches that are driving the library of today and the future. In charting this new path, libraries have drawn inspiration from the business, retailing and hospitality sectors. Nimble, digitally-capable environments are now the norm - facilities where the quality of the patron experience is as important as a well-organized card catalog. At Freelon, we understand these changes have positioned the library as an ever more vital component in the fabric of the communities they serve. For two decades, we have been active participants in the ongoing evolution of the library. Our expertise and portfolio of work exemplify the public library's marked transformation.
