Library Webscapes

The Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County (PLCMC) is undergoing a web redesign to address the changing needs of their users. The new website will focus on customization, personalization, easy access to library resources, quick answers to user queries, and a human touch. This user-driven and collaborative approach will provide a strong identity to each branch while keeping simplicity in design.
