WORK WITH US
Maggie Sacco Curcio, MLS, Lead Consultant
I started Infocus Library Consulting in 2015 when I moved to SoCal, after five years in partnership with my best friend at HS Infocus LLC. I'm continuing what we built by working with my library colleagues in creative partnership to better serve their customers. I've built relationships with Librarians, Vendors, Graphic Artists, Preservationists, Data and IT Professionals - I'll assemble a team that's a custom fit for your project and source and screen contractors and permanent FTEs . I'm also a versatile and experienced Librarian and do many projects solo. It all depends on the scope of your project.
Our clients include: National Academy of Sciences, Criterion Edge, L.A. Metro, Foundation for Science & Math Education, Missouri DOT, Iowa DOT, Partners in Brainstorms, Arizona DOT, Tennessee DOT
