Bad Library Signs with voice
- 1. Library Signage - What Message Are We Sending to Our Patrons?
- 2. Merely adequate signage identifies the resources in your library and tells people what they can and can't do.
- 3. Great signage communicates your competence, understanding and care for the people using your library. ~Chris Rippel
- 4. Bad Messages, Bad Signs:
- 7. http://www.flickr.com/photos/herzogbr/2436694602/ Last year’s laminated sign updated with this year’s taped on directional message.
- 8. http://www.flickr.com/photos/travelinlibrarian/2551822558/in/pool-librarysignage Where to begin? Old tape, shabby copy, boring sign, poor wording (library staff are anxious…)
- 11. http://www.flickr.com/photos/helenk/2072713239/in/pool-librarysignage No Frisbees? Noise levels above 100db discouraged? Do the noise police have a device to measure the decibel level at this library? No rearranging walls and shelving by patrons?
- 12. http://www.flickr.com/photos/silversprite/2982997158/in/pool-librarysignage Does this library not even have enough money for a decent copy of this motivational message?
- 13. http://www.flickr.com/photos/iamthebestartist/3323868270/in/pool-librarysignage Shabby signs tell patrons we don’t care about the message. Why should they?
- 14. Good message, problems with the sign:
- 15. A good message deserve more than a sheet protector and a thumbtack.
- 16. http://www.flickr.com/photos/trucolorsfly/2370749267/ Clear message, professional sign holder, no brand.
- 21. http://www.flickr.com/photos/annethelibrarian/3188690770/in/pool-librarysignage http://www.flickr.com/photos/annethelibrarian/3188691228/in/pool-librarysignage More than one brand for a library sends a conflicting message.
- 22. http://www.flickr.com/photos/lesterpubliclibrary/2555146162/in/pool-librarysignage Masking tape.
- 23. http://www.flickr.com/photos/annethelibrarian/2396542433/in/pool-librarysignage The teens must feel very welcome in this YA space.
- 24. http://www.flickr.com/photos/midatlanticbulldogrescue/447822545/in/pool-librarysignage I count over 30 exclamation points on this taped up sign! Are all the different colors supposed to make this a fun message? Is that Mickey Mouse? What about copyright infringement?
- 25. Tape residue is ugly.
- 26. A professionally made sign, but not ADA compliant.
- 27. Sometimes even retailers don’t get it right…
- 28. Where would I find … anything? Not an informational or directional sign in sight.
- 29. Ah, Fiction. Label overkill.
- 30. When labels get shabby it is time to replace them.
- 31. Good message, good sign:
- 34. http://www.flickr.com/photos/travelinlibrarian/2333509636/in/pool-librarysignage Emotionally intelligent message, professional sign holder, clear graphic helps display the message. Great job!
- 36. Sign substitutes for the non-readers.
- 37. An in-library homemade sign done professionally. You can do this with MS Word, a color printer, and card stock.
- 38. A semi-temporary sign in a professional holder keeps it looking good for the lifespan. Don’t forget to take it down once it has expired.
- 39. Emotionally intelligent signs appeal without preaching.
- 41. Way finding and directional signs are uniform and consistent throughout this library.
- 44. Even temporary signs should have continuity, consistency, and visual appeal. The human eye pays more attention to the colors than the logo of a brand.
- 45. Investigate : How are the signs in your library? Plan : What are your signage needs? Make and Take : Attend a CKLS signage workshop and give your library signage a makeover.
