Digital Signage for Libraries

Library digital signage refers to screen-based communication systems used throughout a library facility to inform and engage patrons. This includes displays in entryways, reading rooms, and hallways showing event schedules, wayfinding maps, new arrivals, hours of operation, and community announcements.

Digital signage software connects your screens to a cloud-based platform where staff can create, schedule, and publish content remotely. You pair a media player, like our Zen Stick, to any existing TV display, log into Sho CMS, and begin managing your content from any device. No on-site IT support is needed for day-to-day updates.

Libraries can display a wide variety of content, including upcoming event schedules, program registration deadlines, branch hours and closures, new book arrivals, staff spotlights, wayfinding maps, community partner announcements, emergency alerts, and live social media feeds. With our app integrations (including Google Slides, Canva, and more) you can pull live content directly into your displays.

Not at all. Most libraries are up and running within minutes. Staff at any technical level can use Sho CMS to create and update content using drag-and-drop tools and pre-built templates. Our onboarding team also provides hands-on setup support, so your team never feels left on their own.

Pricing depends on the number of screens, hardware requirements, and the software plan that best fits your library's needs. We offer flexible annual licensing plans that are accessible for public institutions with tight budgets. We recommend scheduling a free demo so we can build a personalized quote based on your facility size and goals.
