In addition to physical books, <br />videos and music, the RemoteLocker will also allow the Library to add a variety of popular <br />"Take It & Make It" kits that expand community access to interactive and educational <br />programs for the entire family. <br />The RemoteLocker kiosks provide an easy -to -use, self-service experience for library <br />patrons. Once items are reserved online or over the phone, residents can retrieve library <br />materials on their way to work or school at the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center <br />or while participating in activities at the PAAL Center. Most importantly, this can all be <br />done by simply scanning the user's free library card at the kiosk. Because the modular <br />system is customizable, the Library also has the flexibility to add modules in the future <br />that expand kiosk capacity and address the changing educational and entertainment <br />interests of Santa Ana youth and residents of all ages. <br />Bibliotheca is the leading vendor to provide book kiosks for libraries in Orange County. <br />Bibliotheca will provide two full turn -key RemoteLockers (Book Kiosks), including <br />manufacturing, shipping, on -site installation, remote training, and service/support.
