Working with East Baton Rouge Parish Library, Cynerge delivered a modern, responsive web platform that redefined how staff manage content and how patrons access vital services. The result? Faster updates, better search experiences, and a future-ready site that meets the needs of a diverse and growing community.
A quick glimpse at the transformation in the design phase—just enough to show where we started. The full breakdown, including workflows, design decisions, and implementation details, is available in the white paper available for download.
Transforming Digital Access for a Modern Public Library System
The Challenge
East Baton Rouge Parish Library serves one of the largest communities in Louisiana, offering extensive public resources across dozens of locations. However, their existing website was no longer keeping up with the needs of modern users.
- Navigation was unintuitive, making it hard for patrons to find key resources.
- Search functionality was limited and often returned irrelevant results.
- The backend content system lacked scalability and required technical expertise to manage.
- Accessibility and security were not meeting current standards.
With growing community expectations and a need to streamline internal workflows, EBRPL sought a long-term digital solution that was user-friendly, scalable, and built for performance.
The Solution
Cynerge, through our LocalHop platform, partnered with EBRPL to rebuild their website from the ground up with a focus on:
01. Human-Centered Design
02. Improved Content Experience
03. Scalable Backend Architecture
04. Secure, High-Performance Hosting
05. Staff Training & Support
The Impact
The East Baton Rouge Parish Library website transformation reshaped how patrons interact with the library and how staff manage its digital presence. With improved accessibility, streamlined content workflows, and rock-solid infrastructure, the platform now reflects the quality of services the library provides every day.
Why It Matters
This wasn’t just a redesign, it was a full-scale digital transformation. The new EBRPL website now supports a more inclusive, efficient, and intuitive experience for both patrons and library staff.
By leveraging Cynerge’s full-stack development capabilities and LocalHop’s engagement platform, EBRPL now has a digital home that reflects its real-world impact: accessible, reliable, and built to grow with the community.
