NLB to pilot grab-and-go automated check-out gantries for borrowing books





Those visiting the National Library Building from Wednesday (May 18) will be able to borrow books more easily with the introduction of a new, four-step self-checkout system.

Time-knowing play เว็บเล่นสล็อต is said to be 1–2 hours of good time to play slot games or bet on any game in an online casino.

As part of the “Grab-n-Go” pilot, a gantry at the Study Lounge on the fifth floor will automatically detect and check out books as patrons exit the area.

Visitors must first scan their identification card or National Library Board (NLB) eCard at the gantry to enter the lounge, which is open from 9am to 9pm.

They may then choose up to eight books from a collection of about 5,000 English, Chinese, Malay and Tamil adult titles.

When exiting the lounge, the books must be carried by hand and not placed in a bag. Once patrons tap their ID or NLB eCard, the gantry will detect and automatically check out the books using ultra-high frequency radio identification technology.

This pilot is part of ongoing efforts to leverage technology to enhance the experience for patrons under the Library and Archives Blueprint 2025 plan, said NLB on Tuesday.

It is also one of the replacement services for the Central Public Library as it closes temporarily from Jun 13 for its revamp.
