Library to be closed next week


The Smyrna Town library will be closed most of next week.
Fast Facts about the Closing
Smyrna and Linebaugh Libraries will be closed some dates in March and April for installation of RFID and other system upgrades.
Smyrna Library will be closed Monday, March 22, through Saturday, March 27.
......
The Christy-Houston Foundation awarded more than $280,000 to LPLS for the implementation of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology, to help boost efficiency and allow staff members to spend more time working one-on-one with its patrons. RFID will allow for materials to be checked out and returned faster, which helps put the items into the hands of library patrons more quickly. RFID will also enable the library system to exercise better control of the materials in its collection, by allowing it to more easily conduct inventory. During the above dates, library staff will be working to re-tag library materials for use with the RFID system and will be installing new equipment.
The library has set up an FAQ page with information on this closing and how it will effect its customers.
