30 library directors and management team members from 17 different Canadian forward thinking libraries to participate in an open house focusing on its successful implementation of bibliotheca\u2019s <a style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bibliotheca.com\/solutions\/extended-access\/\">open+ library solution<\/a>. Hamilton Public Library is the first Canadian library system to use the solution, which has been popular in Europe for a decade.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bibliotheca.com\/solutions\/extended-access\/\">open+ is a comprehensive system<\/a>\u00a0that allows libraries to extend access and increase open hours. Designed to complement traditional staffed hours, open+ offers libraries the ability to control building access, security, announcements and more from a remote central hub \u2013 all while integrating fully with libraries\u2019 existing ILS.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7f14eb49 readmoretoggle elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"7f14eb49\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-2131\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2131\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Read more<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2131\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2131\"><p>Hamilton Public Library first installed open+ in its Freelton branch to extend limited open hours and provide the rural community with improved access to the library\u2019s space, materials and resources. Using open+, the Freelton branch increased its hours from just 17 to 60 per week, resulting in a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bibliotheca.com\/hamilton-public-library-overview\/\">100% increase in library use<\/a>&nbsp;compared to the same time last year. Due to the success of the first installation, Hamilton Public Library decided to install open+ at the Lynden branch, another location that serves a rural community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re using innovation and technology to add hours to best meet our rural communities\u2019 needs. open+ allows us to think differently about opening new branches and the ROI on smaller, rural locations,\u201d explains Paul Takala, CEO and Chief Librarian, Hamilton Public Library.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The open house, held at Hamilton Public Library\u2019s Central Library featured presentations from library management and IT staff members, as well as a Q &amp; A session with those involved in the implementation of open+ at the two branches. Members of the bibliotheca team provided high-level overviews of the solution to help attendees generate ideas about how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bibliotheca.com\/solutions\/extended-access\/\">open+<\/a> can enhance the library experience and meet community needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the afternoon, participants boarded a charter bus and toured the two rural open+ library branches to see the open+ in action. Reporter Diana Weeks of CHCH covered the event.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chch.com\/library-technology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Video coverage is available here<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust as Hamilton Public Library has shown, open+ is a perfect way to extend access to library spaces and self-service resources within smaller and rural communities throughout North America. With a library in every town, being able to extend and provide consistent open hours can help many people thrive and better contribute to their local communities,\u201d says Matthew Bellamy, President Americas for bibliotheca.<\/p>\n<p>\u201copen+ is a technology that truly is a game changer. It\u2019s not about cutting staff or services, it\u2019s about enhancing and expanding service for users,\u201d says Takala. \u201cOur communities requested more time and resources from their Library and with open+, we were able to deliver.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Hamilton Public Library<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Hamilton Public Library is a vibrant hub for information and culture, providing our diverse community the Freedom to Discover. As one of the largest library systems in Canada, Hamiltonians will discover something new at our 22 locations, two bookmobiles, or through our extensive digital collections.
