Loussac Library, the main library in the Anchorage Public Library System has made it fun to return books! Check out their book return machine in the picture below. Isn't he cute? We just love the added details of a little mustache and googly eyes! The long white conveyor belt in the background moves returned books up and out of the way quickly. New technologies in the library are so exciting!

This machine reminds of me of a device that we used in my school and I was in high school. The device automatically scans the book and have that record. A record that is truly reliable for the people to use for them to search for a specific book. I want this system to be applied to other schools so that everything will be organized and there will be no confusion.

Agreed, this is a great system. Sadly, it doesn't work with the traditional library tags and requires books to have specific rfid tags, which means it can't accept books from other library systems. It would take a lot of work to retag other libraries to make them all universal, but in the end, the automation may save a lot of time for patrons and future check-ins & outs.
