Case Study: Jefferson County Public Library achieves year-round self-service access with bibliotheca open+

Jefferson County Public Library opens first fully self-service branch with bibliotheca and grows to 109 daily visits

Jefferson County Public Library faced the challenge of quickly providing library access to a growing population in a new area of their large county, as constructing a traditional branch would take years. They partnered with bibliotheca and its open+ solution to create a fully self-service location.

bibliotheca's open+ technology enabled the library to launch the Express Library, a completely unstaffed branch open extended hours every day of the year. The solution resulted in remarkable community adoption with over 4,400 registered users, an average of 109 visits and 190 checkouts per day, and consistently positive patron feedback.
