BACKGROUND
The Barrie Public Library is one of the busiest spots in the city, with over 3000 people a day coming through their doors. Patrons visit them to check out leisure reading materials, participate in programs, use library services for help with homework, and more!
At the heart of every great city is a great library. The place to learn, meet others, study with and be inspired. Barrie’s library website was in a state of “funk” for many years and with the increased need to serve our ever-increasing digital culture, it was time to catch up! Throughout a series of gatherings and an awesome team effort, we developed a great tool for them.

BACKGROUND
Over the past eight years, Rhubarb Media has become the go-to studio for design and web services for arts and culture organizations and OMAH continues that trend. We consulted with them to create a new and improved content managed site (DRUPAL) designed to be highly visual, interactive and responsive.

There can be unique challenges for designers when you become your own client. Enter Rhubarb Media, who patiently navigated us through the rebranding process until we were happy with the graphic representation of our firm.
With our brand secured, the Rhubarb Media team then built our website. They took our vision and designed the site based on a content management system that allows us to edit and update our own site content.
Rhubarb collaborated well with another development firm that we included on our team. The self-serve aspect of the site is important to us but we are comforted by the knowledge that Rhubarb is there for support and back-up.
We were pleased to finally have our new site launched and to introduce our new brand. Feedback has been very positive and we credit the excellent people at Rhubarb Media for helping to make our vision a reality.
