San Leandro Public Library Introduces New RFID Technology

The San Leandro Public Library has completed the installation of its new Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system which involved tagging more than 290,000 books, DVDs, CDs, and other items.

RFID systems are widely used at libraries across the country, and will drastically speed up the checkout and check-in processes, adding additional service options for our valued patrons.

All four library branches will now have self-checkout machines for patrons to use! The self-checkout machines offer 35 language options, and patrons can use either a physical library card or the San Leandro Public Library mobile app to check out library items.
