From magnetic strips in the 1970s to the first kiosks in the 1990s, including early 3M and Bibliotheca machines, the goal was clear: give patrons more independence and let staff focus on people instead of process.

What once felt like the future now seems dated. Accessibility standards demand tactile controls, private audio, and screens that can be navigated without sight.
