Waimakariri\u2019s proximity to Christchurch and its large collection means the district can focus on a smaller curated selection of titles that suits the needs of its unique community.<\/p><p>\u201c<i>A lot of what we hold is unique to us, our local identity, and our stories,\u201d <\/i>says Sole. \u201c<i>Our challenge is to provide enough books for our growing district but also to provide multi-use spaces for people to come together.\u201d<\/i><\/p><p>Waimakariri\u2019s busiest library location, Rangiora, welcomes around 1,000 visitors per day during busy periods. Post-earthquake migration and growth have brought many families to the area, and the library is a key community resource for children\u2019s literacy programmes and intergenerational programming.<\/p><p>\u201cW<i>e are a very family-centric library service,\u201d <\/i>says Sole. <i>\u201cWe have grandparents who grew up through our libraries now bringing in their grandchildren to engage in digital learning together.\u201d<\/i><\/p><p>That level of community engagement means space at Rangiora is at a premium. Library leadership wanted to ensure that any new solutions would not only be efficient but also enhance the experience of the library. To do this, the library selected Bibliotheca\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bibliotheca.com\/en-gb\/solutions\/self-service-checkout\/\">selfCheck 1000 self-service kiosks<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bibliotheca.com\/en-gb\/solutions\/intelligent-return-shelving\/\">smartShelf intelligent shelving<\/a> for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bibliotheca.com\/en-gb\/solutions\/automated-return-sorting\/\">automated returns<\/a>.<\/p><p>\u201cSometimes, technologies and experiences in libraries are not equivalent to what yo<i>u get out in the community and at private businesses,\u201d<\/i> says Sole. <i><strong>\u201cThe user experience and presentation of Bibliotheca\u2019s products are of such a high standard, it\u2019s wonderful to be able to offer them in a library setting.<\/strong> Rangiora library has looked the same way for quite a long time, so the new equipment was disruptive in a nice way.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-166c9bd elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"166c9bd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bibliotheca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Oxford-Service-Centre-Library-2023-88-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-81419\" alt=\"Oxford Service Centre &amp; Library\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bibliotheca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Oxford-Service-Centre-Library-2023-88-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bibliotheca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Oxford-Service-Centre-Library-2023-88-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bibliotheca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Oxford-Service-Centre-Library-2023-88-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bibliotheca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Oxford-Service-Centre-Library-2023-88.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" title=\"\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-82bbb7c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"82bbb7c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Revolutionising returns<\/h2><p>For years, customers at Rangiora Library dropped returns through a slot in the wall where backroom staff would collect them, manually check them in, and sort them to be reshelved. Implementing Bibliotheca\u2019s smartShelves changed all of that.<\/p><p>Now, there are no more return slots or staff members relegated to the room behind a wall. Instead, that position has been transformed into a library concierge: a friendly face welcoming visitors into the library and assisting whenever needed. To return items, customers simply place them on the smartShelf, and technology does the rest, removing the item from customer accounts, resetting security, and making it ready for immediate recirculation.<\/p><p>\u201cRoll<i>ing out the smartShelf was a good way of engaging with the community and piquing their curiosity,\u201d <\/i>says Sole. <i>\u201cAt first, there was quite a lot of education with the community because they had no idea this technology existed. We had someone standing by the shelf explaining that you only had to place the book on it to have it automatically returned. Over time, that\u2019s become unnecessary, and that pers<\/i>on can be away from the shelf, out on the floor assisting instead of in the back room.\u201d<\/p><p>Though many libraries opt for a hybrid return model, using both smartShelves and traditional book return slots, Sole says he wasn\u2019t interested in that.<\/p><p>\u201cI<i> didn\u2019t want it to just be a novelty,\u201d<\/i> he says. <i>\u201cWe don\u2019t have the budget for something that just sits there and isn\u2019t used to its full potential. Using the smartShelves exclusively has improved the lag time between a book being returned and being back out on the shelves. Most importantly, it means we now always have three people out on the floor, roaming the library and engaging the community.\u201d<\/i><\/p><h2>Building on success<\/h2><p>Waimakariri initially put new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bibliotheca.com\/en-gb\/solutions\/self-service-checkout\/\">selfCheck kiosks<\/a> in every location but decided to use Rangiora alone as a testing ground for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bibliotheca.com\/en-gb\/solutions\/intelligent-return-shelving\/\">smartShelf<\/a>. If it could handle the busiest library, it could be used anywhere.<\/p><p>\u201cI k<i>now this technology has come a long way in just four years,\u201d<\/i> says Sole.<i> \u201cBut I wanted to make sure it worked well and was accurate before using it in other locations. With such high foot traffic, we don\u2019t have time for clunky systems.\u201d<\/i><\/p><p>The smartShelf performed as promised and Waimakariri will soon be installing it in the district\u2019s smallest location, Oxford, where Sole thinks its capabilities will really shine.<\/p><p>\u201c<i>It\u2019s going to be really important there. Oxford is a sole-charge library; generally, only one librarian is looking after the space. Having smartShelves means that the librarian will be out on the floor for the duration of the day without having to duck behind the counter and furiously smash out returns.\u201d<\/i><\/p><p>Also, while customers at Rangiora don\u2019t often have a chance to borrow books directly off the smartShelf (the staff are quite quick about reshelving), at Oxford, the smartShelf will offer customers a browsable collection of recently returned items.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b0a03d6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b0a03d6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bibliotheca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kaiapoi-Town-Centre-Ruataniwha-Building-2023-2-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-81404\" alt=\"Kaiapoi Town Centre Ruataniwha Building\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bibliotheca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kaiapoi-Town-Centre-Ruataniwha-Building-2023-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bibliotheca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kaiapoi-Town-Centre-Ruataniwha-Building-2023-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bibliotheca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kaiapoi-Town-Centre-Ruataniwha-Building-2023-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bibliotheca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kaiapoi-Town-Centre-Ruataniwha-Building-2023-2.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" title=\"\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-61ceb83 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"61ceb83\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Planning the future of the Rangiora Library<\/h2>\n<p>Waimakariri is beginning work on the design brief for their new Rangiora building which will be an extension of their current Category 2 heritage building.
