West Plains, MO – The West Plains Public Library is set to enhance its services with the addition of a new self-checkout station, thanks to an $8,690 Tech Ladder Grant recently secured by Library Director Dr. Greg Carter. The grant, funded by the Missouri State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), will allow the library to improve convenience for patrons and streamline the checkout process.
The self-checkout station is expected to provide a faster and more user-friendly experience for library visitors, making it easier for patrons to borrow books and other materials, especially during busy hours. Library officials believe the new technology will help reduce wait times and offer an additional option for those who prefer a quicker checkout experience.
The installation of the self-checkout station is expected to take place in the coming months, and library patrons are encouraged to keep an eye out for the new addition.
The grant funding is part of the Missouri State Library’s commitment to supporting technological advancements in libraries across the state, ensuring that local libraries continue to serve as valuable community resources.
