LEID Products is a leading provider of self-service library branch solutions to help libraries meet the needs of the communities they serve. LEID’s iLibrary System includes the touchscreen iLibrary Kiosk to browse and reserve library materials interfaced to LEID’s electronic lockers for self-service patron pick-up. Extend library hours or offer self-service library branch locations in community centers, retirement communities, commuter stations, malls, and more. ‘Express Library,’ ‘Library-on-the-Go,’ ‘Mini Library’ – These are all names customers have chosen to call their stand-alone, self-service library branch made possible by LEID Products. Library patrons can browse materials online or directly through LEID’s iLibrary Kiosk. Orders are placed through the kiosk or remotely via the Internet using their library card number. The patron will receive an email with access code when their materials are available to pick-up 24/7 through LEID’s electronic locker system. Providing expanded access to library resources in new locations has never been easier or more affordable. In areas where population or budget constraints cannot efficiently support a facility, the self-service iLibrary System can be used to meet outreach goals. The concept of a self-service mini library branch has been growing in popularity across the nation.
