Making the Most of the Space You Have

Self-check doesn't have to take up a lot of space, and it can really help when you're busy and understaffed. Consider putting a self-check in the children's area -- kids love to check out their own books!

Additional self-service ideas shown below include:

• Lockers located in the lobby, outside, or at a remote location for people to pick up hold items
• A book vending machine in a train station
• A fully self-serve room in the library for extended hours
