How Does it Work?
To open the NovelBranch door, scan your library card and enter your PIN (last 4 digits of library card). That’s all it takes. Peruse the shelves as if they were in the physical library building, make your selections, and simply close the door. There are five shelves of material to choose from.
The NovelBranch uses RFID technology to know which books have been removed and will automatically check them out on your account. You can also return items from the NovelBranch collection, which have a bright neon pink or green label on their front, in the NovelBranch or at the Vienna Public Library. (Items that belong to the Vienna Public Library main collection should be returned at the Vienna Public Library or in the book drop that is beside the NovelBranch.)
