Demco’s ColorScape Collection is the perfect union of color and function
The trope of libraries that are full of possibility, but appear dingy, dusty, or dated is one we’re all familiar with. Libraries, after all, are often known for utilitarian storage of thousands of titles with little room — or budget — for flashy displays. However, as the library’s role in community and education spaces grows, it’s important to ensure the space is welcoming and inviting, encouraging patrons to engage and learn. One way to improve library facilities is through the use of color.
