No, You're Not on Mars-
It's Our New RFID System!
For those of you who have been in to the Library recently, you've had the opportunity to use our new, time-saving, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology when checking your items in and out. We look forward to those who haven't, to come in and experience this for yourself! It's easy-
Here's the two-step process:
Scan your Library card under the red light
Take one or several items, place them on the new pad and you're done!
You'll still choose between a printed or emailed receipt, or choose to not get a receipt.
Don't worry, our friendly circulation staff will be on hand to guide you through your first visit. See you soon!
