"Storage Solved" in public library

The Akron-Summit County Public Library in Akron, Ohio, features five renovated floors and three of the new construction that nearly doubled its former size. The shelving was designed to compliment the architecture of the building as well as store the wide variety of items that needed to be stored.

Cantilever shelving was designed with custom heights to fit the niches. In the Children’s Room, a third of the double-faced shelving is custom height.

A custom AV shelving system was developed that adjust to different depths to accommodate various-sized media.

A pullout feature was added to an existing browsing bin for small songbooks and play books. The same solution was also used for CD storage in the Teen section. Hanging files keeps pamphlets well organized and facilitate visibility in several departments.

Storage solutions (design, layout and installation) provided by Central Business Group, Cincinnati, OH, in conjunction with Spacesaver Corporation.
