What is self-service library access?

Self-service library access lets eligible cardholders enter the library even when staff aren’t present. Using secure technology, you can scan your card, unlock the door, and enjoy expanded access to library services—no matter the time of day. 
During self-service hours, you can: 

  • Browse and check out books 
  • Use computers, printers, and WiFi 
  • Pick up holds (except specialty items like hotspots or laptops) 
  • Read, study, or relax in your favorite spot 

It’s a safe, secure, and convenient way to stay connected to your library—on your own schedule.
