We Use LibCal for our Training Sessions!

Here's a LibCal Events Widget of all our upcoming training sessions.


 

Appointment Widgets - Make it Easy to Schedule an Appointment

  • Appointments allows your library team to set up their availability for patrons to book one-on-one consultations.
  • Widgets make it so you can reach people even if they're not on your LibCal system pages.
  • Create a widget and drop it in any webpage encouraging users to take advantage of your professional expertise.

Easy-to-Use Space Booking Widgets

Reducing friction is essential when you're trying to keep the attention of your users.

Put booking a room or space right at the point of need with a widget on your library website, on your maker space page, in your LibGuides system, and other online resources.


The Hours Widget Saves Everyone Time

Very often, when someone reaches out to you, it's to ask, "What are your hours today?" The hours widgets take care of those queries.

Widgets Options:

  • Today's Hours
  • Daily Hours
  • Weekly Grid View
  • Monthly Calendar View
  • Combined Weekly/Monthly View
