Self Checkout

Our New 3M Self-Checkout is up and running in the South Wing. No more lineups for a simple checkout. It's easy to use and staff are standing by to assist if any problems arise. Of course, we are still maintaining our friendly Customer Service Desk because there's often more to a library visit than checking out items.
