open+ reimagines library access

open+ access is a comprehensive system that allows libraries to increase access by providing more flexible open hours. Designed to complement staffed library hours, open+ access can be implemented in a number of different ways to meet various library service models.

From extending access to an entire library or only a section of it, providing full self-service resources or a dedicated holds pick-up area, open+ access allows libraries the flexibility to extend access during unstaffed hours in the way that best meets the needs of their community and space.

open+ access is a fully customizable solution already in use at over 1000 libraries worldwide. Our experienced team is here to help walk you through the options and the configuration that works best for your unique library.

open+ access increases hours and improves service

open+ count

open+ count uses anonymous people-counting technology to accurately count those entering and leaving library spaces. Gather strategic data and usage reports to help make data-driven decisions about the future use of library space.

open+ reserve

Designed specifically for libraries, open+ reserve is an easy and flexible way for library users to book pre-arranged time at your library. Allow patrons to reserve specific meeting rooms, schedule appointments with staff, or reserve a seat at programs using this accurate, library-specific platform.
