The Challenge: Protect Special Collections and Patrons’ Belongings
Staff at this major urban library wanted to improve public access to the special collections area, but they also wanted to protect the collections from potential damage. To help reduce the risk to collections, they decided to prohibit bags and backpacks from the special collections area.

The Solution: Keyless Library Lockers
The design team chose Spacesaver’s Day Use Lockers with keypad locks with easy-to-use integrated handles.
They decided to configure the lockers in two counter-height “islands” that stand near the entrance to the special collections area. Topped with authentic wooden tops, the lockers provide convenient work surfaces as well as storage for bags, backpacks, snacks, and other items that patrons need to lock up while they conduct research. The wooden tops and sides also tied in with other design elements throughout the library. Procurement was simple because Spacesaver was already providing shelving for the renovation.
