Inspirational Library POD

Inspirational Library POD

Ipswich City Council is leading the way with world Class Library Services Innovation.
They have developed an amazing library “POD” solution located at the busy Karalee
Shopping Village precinct.

Ipswich Taking Library Services to the People

The remote Mini Library POD / Kiosk extends Ipswich City Council Libraries’ reach and is a high impact method of delivering services right to “where the people are’!
At the heart of the Karalee POD design are three new Quantum Library Supplies “LIB-Cabinets”, which automate lending, returns and reservations. Mini self-serve Library Kiosks requiring minimal staff overhead and providing convenient access for busy shoppers and commuters.
The Karalee Library POD also incorporates smart interactive touch screens which enable user guided self-creation of new memberships and providing patrons with access to the wider library catalogue – for reservations and other desired interaction.
