Download Case StudyPublic library shelving project for a countywide library system.
Multi-location library project in the Kansas City metro area.
The project covered six library locations with different construction and renovation scopes.
Static library shelving systems provided a consistent, stable, and easy-to-use solution for staff and patrons.
Cantilever library shelving, secure work-area shelving, and curved display bookcases supported book collections, staff storage, and high-interest materials.
The goal was to create a cohesive shelving appearance and consistent functionality across all six locations.
Standardizing Library Shelving Across Different Facility Projects
The Johnson County Library system needed a shelving plan that could serve six facilities without creating an inconsistent look from branch to branch. Because the work included new construction, complete remodels, and partial renovations, the system needed consistent library shelving while allowing each location to meet its own space requirements.
Varied Facility Scopes
The six locations included new construction, full renovations, and partial remodels. The library shelving systems needed to fit each space while maintaining a consistent appearance across the entire system.
Need for Consistent Library Shelving
The Johnson County Library system wanted a consistent shelving standard across all six locations. A coordinated library shelving plan helped create a more uniform appearance and similar day-to-day functionality from one facility to another.
Different Library Storage Needs
The facilities needed library book stacks, staff work-area storage, and display shelving for featured media and high-interest collections. Each area required a different shelving solution while still supporting the broader systemwide standard.
Standardized Library Shelving Systems for Six Locations
Southwest Solutions Group installed coordinated library shelving systems across six Johnson County Library locations to create a consistent systemwide standard. The solution included cantilever library shelving for book collections, enclosed shelving for secure staff storage, and curved display bookcases for featured media and high-interest materials. Each location received the shelving mix needed for its specific space while maintaining a cohesive appearance across new construction, remodels, and renovations.
Cantilever Library Shelving, Staff Storage, and Displays
The project used cantilever library shelving for book stacks, enclosed shelving for secure staff storage, and curved display bookcases for featured media and high-interest collections.
Stable Shelving For Public Library Use
Static library shelving systems provided a stable, easy-to-use solution while helping maintain a consistent shelving standard across all six locations.
Consistent Spaces Across Different Buildings
The shelving plan helped the library system create a more professional and consistent environment while supporting collection access, material visibility, and practical staff storage across several facility types.
Phased Library Shelving Installation Across Six Facilities
Southwest Solutions Group completed the library shelving installation in phases and adjusted the shelving mix for each facility. The work included full renovations, partial remodels, new construction, cantilever book stacks, staff storage, and static shelving. Each installation followed the same overall shelving standard to create a consistent appearance across all six locations.
Defined Shelving Needs by Location
SSG identified the shelving needs for each library facility and aligned them with the systemwide goal of creating a consistent library shelving standard.
Coordinated Shelving Layouts
Shelving layouts were planned around each facility, including library book stacks, staff storage areas, renovated spaces, and featured collection displays.
Matched Shelving Solutions to Library Standards
The shelving approach supported consistent design and functionality across all six locations while allowing each facility to use the shelving solutions that best fit its space.
Coordinated Shelving Delivery
SSG coordinated shelving components and delivery throughout the project to help keep installation work moving across the different library locations.
Installed Library Shelving in Planned Phases
SSG completed phased installations across the six library facilities, including cantilever library shelving, staff storage, static shelving systems, and curved display bookcases.
Established a Repeatable Library Shelving Standard
The completed shelving approach gave the library system a consistent physical storage standard for collections, staff areas, and featured material displays across multiple locations.
Consistent Library Shelving Across Six Locations
The completed shelving installations gave the Johnson County Library system a cohesive look across all six locations while supporting the different storage needs of each facility. Dedicated display bookcases also made high-interest collections more visible and easier to organize.
