How an Access Floor Can Simplify Library Operations and Increase Your Community's Engagement

There're a million things you have to handle, and only 24 hours in the day.

Librarians have one of the hardest, most under-appreciated jobs around. They work and live at the center of a chaotic, ever-changing world.

The nexus of the old and new, librarians have long been the guardians of information for their communities.

Since the early days of the internet, more pressure has been put on librarians, as well as city, county and state directors to not only keep up with new technology, but to remain a relevant resource for the community.

Future Proofing a Library From the Floor Up

There has been a lot of talk over the past decade about "future-proofing" libraries. New technologies, services and information are being hurled your way every day.

As librarians, you have to stay current on these technologies as well as ensure your staff and your facility are ready for what is to come tomorrow.

When Netfloor USA works with a library on a renovation or new construction project, one of the goals all of our customers have in common is making sure their library will be able to handle the demands that will be placed on it 5 years down the road, if not longer.

Often, this means more computer workstations and increased internet connectivity. Finding space for this technology can be challenging.

So you can focus on what you do best, we focus on what we do best: laying the groundwork for your future expansion. With a low profile access floor, you are setting yourself, your staff and your community up for future success.

Because it integrates so well with the rest of your building, few will ever know it's there. And that's the point: Providing the basic infrastructure on which to build an elegant and thriving community hub: your library.

Purchasing technology and the infrastructure that supports it is not the end goal. The technology is simply a means to an end.

The goal is to provide your community with the information and resources its citizens need to live, work and thrive. It just so happens that you are the steward of that sacred trust and responsibility.

You are building the foundations of your community’s future, and Netfloor USA is helping to build the foundations of your future-proof library.
