Case Study: Brighton District Library achieves faster service and easier patron access with Bibliotheca RFID, Flex BookDrop, and FlexAMH

Brighton District Library boosts circulation 3.5% with bibliotheca RFID

The Brighton District Library, facing a mandate from its library cooperative to implement RFID tagging, saw an opportunity to improve its services. The library’s challenge was to use this directive to create a more streamlined and efficient experience for both patrons and staff. To meet this goal, they partnered with bibliotheca to explore a full-scale RFID implementation, including an automated materials handling (AMH) system that needed to fit within their limited space.

bibliotheca designed and installed a compact flexAMH system with an integrated outdoor flex bookDrop for instant returns, alongside new RFID selfCheck units. The results were a significantly improved patron experience and operational efficiency. The library reported measurable success, including a 3.5% increase in circulation, a 5% rise in door counts, and faster holds turnaround times, allowing staff to focus more on engaging with the community.
