T-30: Countdown to Opening Weekend

It was 30 years ago, in 1984, that the Ridgefield Library was one of the first libraries in our area to introduce an automated circulation system as part of the Bibliomation consortium.  In 2014, we are moving even further into the future, with the introduction of Radio Frequency Identification technology and an automated materials handling system to make check-in and check-out even more convenient, efficient and accurate.
