Library Podiums & Lecterns

For public, academic & school libraries

A quiet, compact lectern for the community room.

A library podium lives in the community room and comes out for author talks, lecture series, board meetings, Friends of the Library events and the occasional children's program. The lecterns on this page were picked for that room: compact acrylic models that don't crowd the shelving, sound lecterns for the reading that draws a full house, and hardwood pieces for the branch that wants something more formal.

What public, academic and school libraries order most:

  • The clear open-back acrylic lectern and the Eclipse for community rooms
  • The 111PLS and GSL-S sound lecterns, with wireless mic options, for author events and lecture series
  • The Royal and the Conquest hardwood lecterns for main branches and academic libraries
  • The Aristocrat 600 with keyboard tray for a small meeting room on a budget

Every order ships free in the lower 48. Send your logo as a vector file and we'll apply it and send a proof before production. Library boards and city purchasing can request a written quote and send a purchase order when it clears.

Common questions

What podium do libraries usually order?
For the community room, the clear open-back acrylic lectern and the Eclipse are the most common because they're compact and don't fight the shelving. Libraries that host author talks and lecture series usually add a sound lectern like the 111PLS or the GSL-S.
Do you have a lectern that fits a small meeting room?
Yes. The Aristocrat 600 and the Economy acrylic lectern are both narrow enough for a small room, and the portable presentation lecterns fold away between programs.
Can the lectern be stored between events?
Yes. The portable models fold, and the aluminum podiums like the K-2 are on casters so staff can roll one into a closet.
Can you apply the library's logo?
Yes. Applied logos are available on most acrylic, aluminum and hardwood models. Send a vector file (.eps, .ai or .pdf) and we'll send a proof before production.
How does a public library buy?
Request a written quote, take it to the board or city purchasing, and send the purchase order when it clears. We apply tax-exempt certificates to the order and supply a W-9 on request.
