Library Summertime Support: Bright Spaces Mean Happy Faces
by Travis Corter, Brodart Copywriter
Is Your Library Summer-Ready?
Summer programming and library operations often pose unique challenges for librarians. Let’s look at a few ways to keep patrons happy.
Cozy Seating Can Boost Focus
Patrons visiting the library in areas with hot summer weather want to feel comfortable as they browse the stacks, work on projects, or engage their creativity. The right seating option can help them lose track of time as they dial in and focus on the task at hand. This is especially pertinent to younger patrons, whose energy and attention spans sometimes provide unique challenges. The MooreCo Soft Sway Rocking Chairs offers the gentle rhythm of a classic rocker, inviting children to relax with a book or take a break for a bit. Meanwhile, this Children’s Factory Soft Touch Bowtie Seating Set is perfect for whimsical collaboration and socialization.
The Right Book Return Keeps Busy Patrons Moving
Vacation season is fast approaching, so many busy families need a way to return books as quickly as possible—and librarians need a way to process them as efficiently as possible. A shiny new book return ensures a streamlined workflow, whether you’re focused on complementing an existing return or replacing an old one. This sleek Jayco Outdoor Book Return includes a built-in theft-deterrent hopper door and is available in two sizes. Looking for a simpler return system? Try the Kingsley™ ValuStar™ ThruWall™ Return.
Library Displayers and Tabletop Items Keep Readers Engaged
From summer reading notifications to program announcements, you can share key messages with a host of display items. If you want to really make a statement, feast your eyes on the attractive displayers. Through May 30, 2026, save 15% on everything from eye-catching Socrates Displayers to Deflecto Contemporary 3-Tier Literature and Magazine Holders.
Keep CDs & DVDs from Running Away
Vigilance is key when it comes to protecting your investment. Make sure you have enough durable media security cases to ensure a safe checkout and return process. For DVD security, consider the Alpha S3 Single DVD Security Box or the Clear-Vu™ One-Time™ Blu-ray Security Case.
