The new technology means library users can issue, return and renew books themselves via ‘checkout’ kiosks and it replaces the older barcode system. As well as being more convenient for users it also frees up library staff from having to manually manage books.
Head of community, culture and heritage Dylan Tahau said radio frequency identification is the industry standard and library staff would be on hand to help users with the new system.
“Radio frequency identification has been adopted by most libraries throughout New Zealand and it’s easy to use and saves time for library users. It’s also great for our library staff as it means they don’t have to be in the back rooms processing books and can instead be out on the floor helping people get the most out of their library. While there won’t be an issuing desk anymore there will still be the same number of staff there to help, and they will be easy to identify as they will be wearing branded t-shirts,” he said.
The new technology will be installed over the coming weeks and will go online on September 13.

Massive queues, overcrowded car parks and delayed bus shuttles are just a few of the issues turning people away from the ski fields.

To create safer, more caring communities we need to not only look after ourselves but those around us as well.
For the month of September, we want to use our voice to raise awareness for mental health and well-being. Perhaps consider sharing a cuppa with someone you know who could use the support or challenge your family and friends to unplug from social media for the entire month to improve their well-being. If you or someone you know is going through a rough patch, don’t forget you can call or text 1737 anytime for FREE support from a trained counsellor.
Don’t forget, this month also coincides with World Suicide Prevention Day (September 10th) followed by Mental Health Awareness Week (23 - 29 September) and Mental Health Awareness Day on October 10th.
However you choose to take part, feel free to tag us in your posts + use the following hashtag so we can see how you’re cultivating better mental health for yourself or in your community this month:
