Additionally, the librarians have removed themselves from behind the traditional desk and are stationed by computer kiosks to help patrons find the information they need. Books and materials can be reserved online and picked up at a drive-through window, or much like the grocery store checkout, books can be checked out at a self-checkout stand. All of these innovations are helping to make the library more popular and accessible, in fact Scottsdale’s book circulation has increased 25% within the last year.
