Case Study: Waterbury Public Library shows room availability with Teamup Calendar

How This Library Shows Availability in a Room Booking System

Waterbury Public Library, a community library in Vermont, needed a more efficient way to manage booking requests and display the availability of its three meeting rooms. Their existing online form captured request details well, but without a public view of real-time availability, staff were burdened with responding to numerous requests for times that were already booked. They turned to Teamup Calendar to solve this challenge.

The solution was to add an embedded Teamup calendar to their website. This displayed room availability in real-time, allowing community members to check for open slots before submitting a request. The library further improved efficiency by including a color-coded key with each room’s capacity. This implementation by Teamup created a streamlined process, eliminating unnecessary wait times for patrons and significantly reducing the administrative workload for library staff who no longer had to manually answer availability inquiries.
