Connect your community to the library’s services

A dynamic content platform with a custom theme designed to help tell your Library story.

Libraries spend too much time and money on their collections and resources to leave them at the mercy of outdated websites. Provide your existing and potential patrons access to your services with an elegantly designed and easy-to-navigate portal.

Give your staff the tools to maintain and grow the website as the library writes its next chapter. Library Market’s innovative websites supply you with the means to showcase the things that matter most to your community.

Library-Specific Content Types

Our library of custom content types provides centralized, easy management of the kinds of content most libraries need to make available such as databases, community resources, policies, and more.

These are generally available as pages where users can browse or set filters to find what they need and as blocks for presenting items from particular categories on your pages.

Recommended Reads & Book Rivers

Both of these features stem from the same central content type. Adding books is as easy as entering the ISBN (which prefills the title, author, summary, and jacket image) and tagging it with your custom categories.

Links back to your catalog are created automatically. Highlight your collection with Book Rivers on your home page, and use Recommended Reads to create custom books lists.

Custom Design

A library’s website should serve as a “digital branch,” offering 24/7 information, services, and resources. Our design team uses your brand to reinforce the connection between the digital and physical library and provide a modern web experience for your users.

This may include adapting your color palette for web use, creating custom backgrounds, and using logo elements in creative ways.
