Case Study: Gwinnett County Public Library doubles access with Bibliotheca open+

Gwinnett County Public Library doubles open hours with bibliotheca

Gwinnett County Public Library needed to increase community access to its collections and services but was constrained by a budget that could not accommodate additional staff hours. To address this challenge, the library turned to bibliotheca and its open+ access solution.

By implementing bibliotheca's open+ system, the library was able to offer extended unstaffed hours, effectively doubling its open hours at the initial pilot branch. This solution provided patrons with more convenient access without replacing staffed hours or expanding the budget. The measurable impact included nearly 9,000 patrons registering for the service and an average of 100 additional visits per month, proving the success of the bibliotheca system.
