All our Libraries are open today as normal.

The Richmond Library has reopened and the new self issue system is available

We have now finished tagging all of our stock, the new security system has been installed and we are again open.  Best of all though, we now have a self issue machine to make borrowing books out of hours (or during the day) much easier.

Simply scan your card, put up to 5 books on the pad and all will be instantly issued to you. No forms and no fuss. The machine will even give you a receipt for any items you borrow, complete with the return dates.

You can also use the self issue machine for checking when your books are due back and even renewing them (you don't need to have the books with you to renew them).

The machine has a touch screen and is very easy to use, but if you have any questions or comments please let us know.
