Bibliotheca supplies automated RFID solutions to Ohio library

Friday, August 5, 2011

The Pickaway County District Public Library in Circleville, Ohio has chosen Bibliotheca ITG to supply RFID and automated materials handling solutions for its newly renovated facility.

The PCDPL installation will consist of self-checkout kiosks, security gates, tags and two sorters for both interior and exterior material returns.

The automated system will enable visiting library patrons to quickly locate and check out media, while allotting staff more time to focus on providing service to guests, helping them locate specific books or research materials.

PCDPL’s newly re-designed library facility was recently completed in May 2011, constructed on the library’s existing building. It has been expanded to include a teen center, computer lab, meeting rooms and a larger children’s area. [end]
