RFID Tagging Underway!

Adult Services Librarian Dorothy Pawlowski and Friends of the Library President Rhonda Hill hard at work "tagging."  With the help of the Friends and other volunteers, the Library staff are placing a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag in every book and other item we own.  This will allow us to introduce a new automated circulation system in the new Library that will be more accurate and efficient. It will automatically check items out without finding and scanning barcodes.  The book return slot will feed directly into an automated materials handling conveyor belt that will check things in and sort by department.  Anyone interested in volunteering to help out with this project should contact Mary Rindfleisch at 203-438-2282 x1009 or mfrind@ridgefieldlibrary.org - no experience necessary!
