open+ reimagines library access
Consistent and flexible opening hours drive equitable access for people and more impact for communities.
open+ access is a comprehensive system that allows libraries to provide more flexible hours, making them more accessible to the community. Designed to complement staffed library hours, open+ can be implemented in a number of different ways to meet various library service models. From extending access to an entire library or only a section of it, providing full self-service resources or mainly a holds pick-up area, open+ allows libraries the flexibility to extend access in the way that best meets the needs of their community and space.
open+ access is a fully customisable solution already in use at over 850 libraries. Our experienced team is here to walk you through the options and the configuration that works best for your unique library.
