So you\u2019ve just dropped into the library but you\u2019ve discovered the branch is closed for the day. That\u2019s not necessarily a problem these days at Stoney Creek\u2019s Valley Park location. The upper Stoney Creek Hamilton Public Library branch is the first in Hamilton to launch a new LibDispenser automated lending machine.<\/p>\n

Dubbed Libby by library staff, the touchscreen unit is loosely based on the candy vending machine concept. It\u2019s equally easy to use, with automated controls and a keyword search function. Libby is located in the lobby of the Valley Park Recreation Centre, near the pool area. Users can scan their library card, obtain either a book or DVD, and scan their card a second time to receive their item. The machine is available whenever the rec centre is open, up to seven days a week. Items can either be borrowed or returned using the same machine. About 600 library titles are available at any one time, including books and DVDs for adults and children.<\/p>\n

Karen Anderson, HPL director of public service and branches, said the Libby machine is a pilot project that will expand the library\u2019s reach. The Valley Park branch is considered under-sized for the area it serves, so the automated unit should help fill the service gap.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s extending our reach to this community beyond our four walls,\u201d said Anderson.<\/p>\n

That begs the question of whether the LibDispenser could one day replace the brick and mortar branch altogether. Anderson doesn\u2019t think so.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t see it as ever replacing the front line service,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Instead, Anderson envisions possible linkages with the city\u2019s public works and recreation departments, which would bring the Libby machine to transit hubs and recreation spaces that aren\u2019t directly linked to a library branch.<\/p>\n

Donna White, a library assistant, said users shouldn\u2019t feel intimidated by the technology.<\/p>\n

\u201cKids love it,\u201d she said. They\u2019re the ones who get their parents into it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Libby was formally launched at the Valley Park branch earlier this month.<\/p>\n
