Libraries Showed Us Who Tours Are Really For

We've filmed tours for more than 40 libraries. Capital Area District Libraries. Jackson District Libraries. St. Clair County. East Lansing. Adrian. MSU. Central Michigan's Park Library. And a bunch more.

Recently, two of them shared something with us.

Capital Area District Libraries and Jackson District Libraries both said they use their tours every week. Not just for patrons. For their staff.

Same tour. Two jobs.

We build every tour with the visitor in mind. The parent getting a kid ready for story time. The person in a wheelchair checking the entrance. The student who wants to find the study rooms before the first week.

CADL and JDL showed us those tours do a second job. Both use them every week to help their staff.

Your tour can do more than you think

If you already have an Able Eyes tour, it's worth asking who else on your team could use it.

Thank you, libraries

You keep teaching us how these tours get used. Thanks to every library that trusted us with its space.

If you want a tour your visitors and your team will both use, let's grab a time to chat. You can also check out 400+ tours.

Thanks!

Ask Iris

See it first. Go with confidence.

Hi, I'm Iris! Tell me what you're looking for: a place to preview (like "Park Library" or "a dentist office"), a specific city (like "Lansing, MI" or "Petoskey, MI"), or a how-to video (like "tying shoes" or "self-checkout"), and I'll find it for you.

Or browse all tours or the video library.
