State grant helps Illinois library deploy self-checkout

July 9, 2013

The Morton Grove Public Library in Morton Grove, Ill., is turning to self-checkout to improve customer convenience, according to an article on mortongrove.suntimes.com. The library will fund the purchase of the self-checkout kiosk using a $23,000 state grant.

"People haven't mentioned (self-checkout) to us all that often but mostly we're constantly addressing convenience-related issues, "said library director Pam Leffler." Self-checkout would allow patrons with only a few items to skip past those big families or people who spend considerable time inquiring about missing items or fines."
