Small municipal libraries left behind by digitalisation
Small municipal libraries serve real communities but rarely have access to modern digital tooling: web presences are outdated, catalogs are unavailable online, and programme communication relies on printed flyers and social media posts.
Outdated or non-existent web presence
No publicly searchable catalog of library holdings
Programme and events communication scattered across offline channels
Limited budget and no dedicated tech staff inside the institution
Modern digital surfaces for a civic institution
We delivered a clean, accessible platform that gives the library a contemporary web presence, a public catalog and a programme calendar - all maintainable by library staff without developer involvement.
Public-facing presence
Modern, accessible website built around the library's identity and visitor needs.
Public catalog
Searchable catalog of library holdings, exposed to community members.
Programme & events
Calendar and announcements for library programming, manageable by staff.
Staff-friendly editing
Content updates handled by library staff directly - no developer required.

The institution moved from offline-first communication to managed digital surfaces it can maintain itself.
