The public has started using new self-checkout machines.

The Owen Sound & North Grey Union Public Library is pleased to announce that our new service is up and running. Two checkout stations are available for public use. One station is in Youth Services and the other is on the Main Level across from the Public Services Desk. Using the touchscreen stations patrons can checkout their own books, DVDs and other materials, renew their current checkouts and review their account. Staff are happy to show you how to use these stations or you can discover them for yourself.

Benefits of self-checkout

• Patrons can choose when to checkout their materials during a Library visit; for instance while the kids are still playing in the Toy Yard
• Self-checkout means increased independence, faster service and more privacy
• Patrons can have their receipts emailed instead of printing a slip
• Patrons can more closely manage their account.
