Branches and reading rooms
Let a resident walk a branch before visiting: the service desk, children's area, study rooms, stacks, and accessible routes, so they arrive knowing where everything is.
Libraries and cultural spaces
360 photo virtual tours for Canadian public libraries.
Let any patron preview a branch before they arrive, from the entrance and elevators to the accessible washrooms, quiet areas, and routes. One accessible 360 photo tour your board can procure once and your accessibility committee can sign off, captured branch by branch, from $7,000.

What a branch tour earns
One capture, working for access, programs, and the board.
Library demand is led by accessibility and the patron experience. A single consistent capture gives every branch a navigable, accessible asset that staff, the accessibility committee, and the foundation all reuse.
Galleries and exhibits
Document rotating exhibits, makerspaces, and digital innovation hubs so patrons see the equipment and layout and arrive ready to use them.
Museums and heritage buildings
Carnegie-era and landmark library buildings, local-history rooms, and archives captured as a navigable record for promotion and preservation reference.
Accessibility and wayfinding
Pre-visit access for patrons who use a wheelchair, are neurodivergent, or are anxious about a new space, built to WCAG 2.1 AA and aligned to the AODA duty Ontario libraries carry.
Event and program spaces
Bookable meeting rooms, study rooms, theatres, and community space shown online to drive room bookings and program registrations.
Donor and grant engagement
Give the foundation, the Friends of the Library, and grant funders a navigable view of the spaces their support builds and renews.
An established practice
Canadian libraries already do this. Own it, do not link out to it.
Virtual access to library buildings is a proven format here. Halifax Central Library publishes a virtual tour of its building, the Ottawa Public Library and Library and Archives Canada joint facility, Adisoke, promotes an interactive VR and 360 tour ahead of opening, and the Toronto Reference Library has a published 360 tour of its building. The question is no longer whether to offer one, but whether it is navigable, accessible, and owned across every branch.
Most library virtual presence today is a one-off fly-through of a single flagship building, or a curated page that links out to external museum tours, with nothing at the branch level. We do the opposite: our crew captures professional 360 photography in your branches, and you receive an accessible, hosted, schema-rich tour you control, with Canadian data residency and one hosting relationship across the whole system.
We can document one landmark branch or the whole system, scoped per branch. Either way, the imagery and the tour are yours, not a link to someone else's.

Who we build for
Four people in the system, four reasons to call.
Each starts from a different search, and each gets the same accessible, ownable asset across every branch.
Branch services manager
"library branch virtual tour" Help new and returning residents find services and bookable spaces without staffing a walkthrough for every branch.
Accessibility and inclusion lead
"accessible library virtual tour" Offer pre-visit access and wayfinding the accessibility committee can sign off, aligned to AODA obligations.
Communications and marketing
"library makerspace virtual tour" Drive program registrations and room bookings and showcase makerspaces and digital hubs.

"new library virtual tour" Pre-opening engagement for a new branch and as-built documentation for operations and capital planning, board-facing.
Real public sector toursTap either to explore it full screen in 360. We walk relevant library and civic work privately on a scoping call.
Built for library procurement
How a 360 tour fits the board and the system.
Library systems buy on best value, with board approval and often through the parent municipality's supplier portal. We arrive registered, insured, and reference-ready, and a single branch is enough to start.
1
Start on one branch
A single landmark or busiest branch from $7,000 proves the format before a multi-branch program across the whole system.
2
We are on your portals
We respond to best-value RFPs and standing offers, registered on the supplier portals library systems and municipalities post through.
3
Procurement-ready and accessible
Insured, WCB covered in Alberta and Saskatchewan, WCAG 2.0 AA with an accessibility statement, and references from comparable public bodies.
4
Captured around open hours
We schedule around branch hours and programs, capturing before opening or after close where a clear, patron-free record is needed.

Questions
Library questions.
What is a library virtual tour used for?
It lets a resident walk a branch before visiting, from the entrance and service desk to the children's area, study rooms, and accessible routes. It also promotes bookable rooms and program spaces, showcases makerspaces, and gives the system an accessible, dated as-built record for planning.
How does a virtual tour help patrons with accessibility and wayfinding?
A navigable 360 tour is a pre-visit access tool. A patron who uses a wheelchair, is neurodivergent, or is anxious about a new space can preview entrances, elevators, accessible washrooms, quiet areas, and routes before they arrive, so the first visit is predictable instead of stressful.
Are your library tours WCAG conformant and AODA aligned?
Yes. Tours are built to WCAG 2.1 AA with navigable, captioned orientation that supports pre-visit access and wayfinding, aligned to the AODA duty Ontario libraries carry. Accessibility is core to the deliverable, not an add-on, and we provide an accessibility statement.
How do library systems buy virtual tours?
Through best-value RFPs and standing offers, with library board approval and often the parent municipality's supplier portal. We arrive registered, insured, and WCB covered in Alberta and Saskatchewan, respond to RFPs and standing offers, and bring references from comparable public bodies.
Can you tour every branch in our system, and how is that priced?
Yes. A single branch starts at $7,000 captured, built, and hosted, then $120 per month per tour. Multi-branch systems run $15k to $50k or more, scoped per branch and phased across the budget cycle, with one hosting relationship across the whole system.
Can the tour be delivered without cloud hosting?
Yes. Delivery is Canadian, and for security or data-residency sensitive cases we can deliver air-gapped and on premise with no cloud. It is a capability we offer when a system needs it, not a requirement for the standard hosted tour.
