Carousel Digital Signage is making a difference with patrons of the Conyers-Rockdale Library System, a single-county library system located in Rockdale County north of Atlanta. The county’s IT team, under the guidance of director Brenda Poku, recently finished deploying a Carousel Cloud network inside the Nancy Guinn Memorial Library, where patrons are greeted with lively visual content and up-to-date news and information on ten screens as they move through the building.
Poku first raised the possibility of bringing digital signage into the library upon joining the organization in her current role more than five years ago. “When I came to the Conyers-Rockdale Library System, it was during a growth period that emphasized technology adoption,” said Poku. “We wanted to maximize our budget and use it in all the right places. My first request was a Carousel Digital Signage system, which I had used at the Newton County Library in Covington, GA nearly 20 years ago. That was a 19,000-square-foot library at the time, and we could run it with two people. Carousel played a role in that, in large part because we got rid of the paper.
