Testimonials
“As educators become more proficient with technology, laptops are integrated into their teaching practices and students need a laptop in the classroom. The self-serve laptop dispensers support student success.”

HoldIT Automated Self-Service Reservations Kiosk
It’s just not feasible for many public or academic libraries to have around-the-clock hours. To solve this problem, technology steps in. The HoldIT Automated Self-Service Reservations Kiosk can be placed in convenient locations inside or outside the library walls, wherever you decide it is most convenient for your community. This system is easy for library staff to load the books and items requested and placed on hold by patrons and easy for patrons to retrieve their selected items by simply scanning their library card. These sturdy lockers are a must-have for libraries looking to meet the unique needs of their patrons.
