Meeting Room Reservations

Free to Public Libraries From WhoFi

This news is thanks to Christian Gutteridge, Marketing Coordinator with WhoFi.  Christian contributes this article about one of WhoFi’s newest features: meeting room reservations.

As with so many other WhoFi products, Meeting Rooms was developed from library feedback.  Using this software, patrons can easily discover available meeting room spaces and amenities through the library's website and then reserve those spaces online.  Meeting Rooms seamlessly integrates with WhoFi's Community Calendar, avoiding double bookings,  ensuring a synchronized approach to managing library programs and patron spaces.

Christian Gutteridge writes: “With more citizens working remotely than ever before, libraries offer valuable co-working spaces, study rooms, and meeting rooms.  programs.  But common challenges persist such as promoting available library spaces, easily reserving spaces, and coordinating reservations efficiently. Without solutions, these challenges can lead to underutilized spaces and strain staff time.” All public libraries in Iowa are eligible to use the Meeting Rooms feature, whether you use other WhoFi products or not.  Using Meeting Rooms applies a tech solution to what can be a cumbersome process, enhancing patron experiences and freeing up staff time. It's a win-win, supporting both library patrons and staff.
