Lyngsoe Library Mate™ 2100: 24/7 Library Returns
Accept library returns anytime, day or night, with the durable and stylish Lyngsoe Library Mate™ 2100. This outdoor self-service kiosk gives patrons the freedom to return books and materials at their convenience, even outside library hours, reducing late fees and making library visits easier and more flexible.
The Ultimate 24/7 Weatherproof Book Return Kiosk
Experience the perfect blend of style and functionality with Library Mate 2100, our robust and smart self-service kiosk designed specifically for outdoor use. Built to withstand a variety of weather conditions, its steel and aluminum façade guarantees long-lasting durability while maintaining a sleek and user-friendly appearance.
Library Mate 2100 features a secure hatch door that protects the induction interior and safeguards the library from unauthorized objects. The hatch door can be programmed to only open when authorized materials are detected, rejecting and returning anything else to ensure round-the-clock protection for your library. Effortlessly integrating with the Lyngsoe Sort Mate™ sorter, it efficiently cross references materials against your Library Management System (LMS), providing immediate feedback to patrons and effortlessly feeding recognized materials into the automated sorting system.
Equipped with a high-quality touchscreen, Library Mate 2100 offers a user-friendly interface with multi-language functionality, guiding patrons step-by-step through the returns process. Our latest Library Mate™ software enhances accessibility with easy-to-read fonts and voice guidance, ensuring a barrier-free experience for all users.
