Montclair Public Library Introduces RFID Checkout Technology

The Montclair Public Library will become the first library in the state of New Jersey to fully utilize radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, library officials said. RFID technology, used in the electronic toll-collection system E-ZPass, is a combination of radio-frequency based technology and microchip technology, and will provide the library with better tracking, more security and an easier method of loaning and returning library materials, Montclair Public Library said.
