Libraries

Libraries are busier than ever, and 23 states have approved local library building measures. According to American Libraries, the internet is not a substitute for the library: not many substantive materials are available for free; 50,000 academic titles are published every year and few are digitized; journals carry only 12 months of back issues on-line. People go to the library for research, for a quiet respite, to read a book, or for social activities such as reading groups. And, computers can be anywhere in the library.

See our Knowledge Base for further information on lighting library spaces.

Litecontrol designed and introduced the first wall/slot system in the industry (with help from Bill Lam) in 1964. The original intent was to provide a floating ceiling effect and to ring a room with light. People consistently rate spaces with wall lighting as more spacious and pleasant.
