Case Study: Aurora Public Library District expands community access with bibliotheca

Aurora Public Library District streamlines 30,000 monthly returns with bibliotheca

The Aurora Public Library District sought to increase and improve community access to its services while streamlining the circulation of nearly one million items annually. To meet this challenge, the library partnered with bibliotheca to implement new solutions including remoteLockers, an automated materials handling system, and door counting software.

bibliotheca provided remoteLockers in a high-traffic neighborhood, upgraded the library's materials handling to a bulk-return flexAMH system, and installed open+ people counting software. The results included a more welcoming and accessible experience for patrons, with 88% of users opting for self-checkout and the new AMH processing over 30,000 monthly returns. The vendor's solutions successfully empowered the community and made library services more inclusive and convenient.
