Redesigning a community cornerstone.

In an increasingly digital-first world, Acton Memorial Library was ready for a complete brand and website refresh to greet patrons in-person and online. We worked with the team to fully redesign the brand with a more modern, welcoming feel while staying true to the library’s roots in the community. To accompany the new branding, we next rebuilt the website to showcase the library’s services digitally with a clean, accessible, and easy-to-navigate layout that ties the library’s physical and online presences together.

What They Had to Say

Thanks to a clear understanding of the library community and how the website plays into that, the team helped us with our goal of bringing our libraries into a more modern era with a new logo and tagline. Now our website, which is really our 24/7 library branch, functions really well and provides better access and services to our community. We are very happy with the final result.

What made it special.

Refreshed Brand

We delivered a simple, versatile logomark featuring a nod to library’s main branch building, paired with bold, refreshed color palettes and typography. To set the library’s team up for continued success in future projects, we also provided custom social post and email templates.

Responsive Layout

After extensive user research and surveys, users emphasized the need for a responsive, simple layout across devices. The site’s navigation prioritizes key information with quick links and custom widgets for library hours, catalog and account access, search, and event calendars.

Accessible Features

To make library resources accessible to everyone in the community, the site was built with ease-of-access and accessibility features at the forefront. Key features include a “Chat with a Librarian” function, an industry-standard Accessibility Widget from UserWay, and dedicated “How Do I?” menu to answer common patron questions.
