This episode is your sign—literally—to look around your library and take stock of your signage.
Signage is the unsung hero of library life: it promotes your programs, points people where they need to go, warns, reminds, nudges, and keeps our beautiful chaos running as smoothly as possible.

On this episode of Library Land Loves, Michelle is joined by Aleksandra Dowiat Vine, Mark Aaron Polger, and Mary Kapusta for a conversation about what makes signage work—and where you might need to reassess. So, the next time you walk five steps into your library, pause and look around. What do you see? Are your signs welcoming? Clear? Confusing? Invisible?

If your users are always asking the same questions… this episode might just point you in the right direction.
