Self-Check In comes to library

Last month, crews started installing a Self-Check In system at Bothell Regional Library. The system will replace the external book drops on the library’s north side, and the internal book drops inside the front doors. The new machines scan each item immediately and provide patrons a return receipt verifying the return date. Inside the library, the machine moves the items to presorted carts.

During installation, patrons may return materials into three large temporary book drops installed east of the front doors. The internal book drops inside the front doors will also be available until they are converted. Construction will block access to several of the parking spots on the north side to varying degrees.

King County Library System has Self-Check In systems currently installed in six libraries: Bellevue, Redmond, Federal Way Regional, Covington, Woodmont and Snoqualmie. Installation is expected to last into mid-November. Kenmore to
