The world is constantly changing—to stay ahead, libraries likewise must continually reinvent themselves! This principle shapes all that we do for libraries. Ivy Library focuses research, planning, branding, and technical expertise on the challenges public, academic, and special libraries face every day.

Our team of library professionals bring experience in administration, community and stakeholder assessment, technology, facilities, and strategic planning. We provide primary research services such as community surveys, focus groups, and town meetings; we analyze GIS information and TAPESTRY lifestyle data; we facilitate planning; and we provide the marketing, PR, and technical support that ensures the success of both process and outcomes.

Our parent company is The Ivy Group, a full-service marketing agency. From our offices in Charlottesville, Virginia, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, we provide a range of strategic, creative, technical, and training expertise that carries organizations through planning to the successful launch of new initiatives.  Our objectives are to enhance libraries' effectiveness and visibility and to promote self-sufficiency. We invite you to explore this site and to contact us with your comments, questions, and insights. Founding partners Nancy Davis, MLS, and Pam Fitzgerald are available to discuss your challenges and to formulate strategies for optimizing your library's opportunities to serve and be heard.
