Lambertville Free Public Library

Modernizing a cherished civic institution with a fresh visual identity and a community-centered digital hub.

Serving the New Jersey community since 1882, the Lambertville Free Public Library provides essential access to literary resources, educational programming, local history archives, and public services. To better serve its diverse membership and reflect its ongoing evolution, the library needed a vibrant brand identity and an intuitive digital portal.

We refreshed the library’s public image with a modern logo design that visually represents an unfolding book and fan of knowledge. Alongside the new branding, we designed and developed an accessible, multi-lingual WordPress website tailored to streamline community interaction—making it simple for patrons to browse catalog resources, view live event calendars, access digital collections, and stay updated on local programs.

Scope of Work

We collaborated with the library’s leadership to build an accessible brand identity and responsive Web presence:

Logo & Brand Identity Design: Designed a fresh, memorable logo mark utilizing an open-book icon motif paired with clean typography, alongside the taglines “Connecting Our Community Since 1882”.
WordPress Website Development: Built a custom WordPress platform focused on high accessibility, user-friendly navigation, and simple content management for library administrators.

Interactive Event & Program Calendar: Integrated a dynamic public calendar system displaying upcoming workshops, story times, art gallery exhibitions, and community meetings.
Multi-Lingual Accessibility: Incorporated an inline language switcher (“En español”) to ensure non-English-speaking residents can easily navigate public services and community notices.

Brand Identity & Logo Design: Transforming traditional static PDFs into an engaging, dynamic web app to showcase the center’s year-over-year impact to global stakeholders.
Digital Catalog & Service Portal: Organized quick-access hubs for physical catalog search, digital e-books/audiobooks (Hoopla integration), museum pass reservations, and newsletter signups.
