If you're in a hurry or tired of queuing to issue items, why not try our new self service issue machines at Elma Turner Library?

There's a machine in the fiction section, non-fiction section and in the Children's Library. They'll issue everything except DVDs, including books, magazines, CDs, cassettes and multi-items.

To use the machines simply:

• Scan your library card barcode under the red scan line.

• Turn the items upside-down so that the library item barcode is face-up.

• Run the spine of the item through the red scan line steadily all the way to the bottom of the "V" cradle.

• Leave the item in the cradle until the machine makes a "clunk/ding" sound.

Ask a staff member to help you use the machines for the first time, or follow the instructions provided.

 

The new machines are very reliable and also allow you to check your account on-screen. We hope you'll enjoy using them!
