Is your library set up for the way people actually live?🤔

Patrons come in with busy schedules, different needs and not much time to wait in line.

Meanwhile, staff are often tied up with routine tasks behind the desk or sorting books in the back.

Not exactly the ideal setup for anyone most of the time.

Luckily, many of these little everyday situations and challenges can be solved🧩

Take a look here and see how others have sorted out extended access, changing patron expectations, or accessibility concerns👇🏻

Last week’s Friday bar got a little spooky 🎃

Our Danish HQ celebrated Halloween with themed cakes, and they were honestly almost too pretty to eat. Almost.

Then the competitive spirit kicked in with a Jeopardy quiz full of spooky questions.

And let's just say some of our colleagues surprised us with their Halloween-related trivia knowledge! 👻

A special shoutout to Laila Kofoed Jensen Kofoed Jensen, who went all in and showed up dressed as a pumpkin - that definitely helped set the mood.

Thanks to everyone who joined in and made it such a fun afternoon🙌🏻

What will the library look like in 100 years? 👀

That was one of the big themes at 2026 in Utrecht, where our CEO, Henrik Kjeldgaard, spent the week with library leaders from around the world 🌍

A lot of the program was about future scenarios. Nobody knows exactly where libraries are heading, but we can all help shape it.

As Henrik puts his thoughts about the future, “Libraries are, and should stay, physical and safe places for everyone. And reading physical books will still be at the heart of it in a hundred years.”

That’s a big part of why we do what we do. We want to help the physical library run smoothly, so staff have more time for the people who use it.

A big thank you to the hosts for a really well-planned event👏🏻

🔌 Some campuses only need a place to charge and lend laptops. Others also want reservation pickups or a lending station for equipment.

Smart Charge Lockers are modular, so you can start with what you need today and add to it later.

Charging compartments can sit next to Smart Hold Locker compartments in the same unit, and the system can be expanded at any time 🧩

If you already have lockers in place, Smart Charge can run alongside them, without you having to replace what already works.

If you’d like a closer look, there’s more on the Smart Charge Locker here👇🏻

Would you let your library stay open longer, if you could?

Many libraries probably would, if it didn’t mean paying for more staffed hours.

Luckily for Alex, their library uses Lyngsoe Self-Operated Library™ to let patrons in with their library card, so the quiet corner is there after school, even when nobody is on shift 🕓📚

More on how we think about reaching patrons outside opening hours right here👇🏻 https://lyngsoesystems.com/library/campaigns/problem-to-potential?utm_source=linkedin&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=problem-to-potential&utm_content=alex-video

How do you keep up with 17 million checkouts a year without wearing out your staff? 📚

That was the challenge facing Multnomah County Library in the Pacific Northwest, where long-term staff were dealing with wear-and-tear injuries from checking in and sorting everything by hand.

With Automated Material Handling and IMMS™, the library now has a central sorter at its Operations Center that handles roughly 7,000 items a day, while sorters at many of the branches take care of local returns 🔄️

Staff spend less time lifting crates and more time helping the people in front of them, and no positions were cut along the way 🙌🏻

When did you last use a library kiosk from a seated position?🧑🏻‍🦽‍➡️

Next time you walk past your self-check, perhaps you should give it a try.

Try and see if you can reach the screen, get the book under the scanner, and read the instructions without stretching 🙋🏻‍♂️

It will tell you a lot about the accessibility of your self-check very quickly.

Our Lyngsoe LibDeco™ adjusts to the person using it, and the software is WCAG-compliant ✅

That lets patrons like Leo use the library like everyone else.

See how we can help with challenges such as accessibility at your library👇🏻

Lending out laptops on campus only works if you can trust where they’re kept between loans.

In a trial, we had someone spend two hours trying to force a Smart Charge Locker open with a crowbar, and the locker didn’t budge 💪🏻

That comes down to the heavy-gauge, seam-welded steel chassis and locks rated to withstand over 300 kg of force, which keep your devices where they should be until the right person comes along.

On top of that, every authorized access is logged, so you always know who opened which compartment and when 🔒

A lot of what keeps a library running never gets noticed 📚

Sorting returns, keeping the shelves in order, fixing the jammed bookdrop, again.

Even though it's not glamorous work, and even though most patrons rarely think about it, it's what makes a good library visit possible.

We think about that a lot 🤔

The equipment we build isn't just software and hardware, it's part of what lets staff spend less time on that kind of upkeep and more time with their community ⌛

That's the part of the job we care about most: giving staff a bit more time back for the people they're actually there to help.
