Coming Soon-- Self Check!

As noted, the Georgetown Branch Library will be temporarily re-locating to the lower floor of former Holy Cross Church on Maple Ave., during the estimated 15-18 months of construction. It will of course be a very different facility and some patrons may find the changes a little disconcerting. However, we hope that patrons will be very excited to see one change in particular-- the installation of self-checkout machines. Like the machines seen in stores, our new self-check system will allow patrons to check out material quickly and easily. Staff will be there to help but the self-check system is designed to be very user-friendly and suitable for all ages and abilities. For those who prefer the in-person option, there will continue to be staff at the Circulation desk to serve you during all of our open hours.

The self-checkout system will be moving back with us to the expanded Georgetown Branch, with machines located throughout the building for greater convenience. In addition, we will be offering self-checkin on the Market Street side of the expanded library, where there will be short-term parking located nearby.

September promises to be a very busy month as staff return to the planning table and begin work on the layout of the temporary site, while also confirming all the wonderful features of the renewed Georgetown Branch. Stay tuned!
