More Attendees, Less Stress: LibCal Tools for Event Success

Coordinating your library's events is a major undertaking! Making sure your community knows about your programs and turns out in force is just as important as the planning itself. LibCal streamlines every step, giving your library an intuitive, reliable event calendar that works seamlessly for staff and patrons alike. That’s why more than 3,800 libraries around the globe trust LibCal as their one-stop solution for event management and promotion.

Why Libraries Love LibCal Events

LibCal takes the complexity out of programming, offering robust features crafted by librarians, for librarians. Effortlessly create unlimited in-person, hybrid, or virtual events with tailored options for categories, branches, and audience types. The live platform ensures that nothing is double booked, whether you have one meeting room or fifty. Configure registration to fit your library's needs – including optional waitlists, payment processing, and secure authentication.

Promote your events far and wide with embeddable widgets and customizable flyers that meet your community where they are. When it’s time to showcase your impact, integrated statistics and comprehensive reports help you share results with stakeholders and streamline your end-of-year reporting. With these powerful tools, you’ll have your events packed and your library buzzing.
