The libraries are a trusted place for discovery, connection, and learning, but like many public libraries, they faced a number of challenges.<\/p><p data-start=\"430\" data-end=\"957\">Encouraging customers to embrace self-service, improving operational efficiency, and freeing staff from repetitive manual tasks were top priorities. Staff were often tied up with routine checkouts, limiting the time available to focus on engagement, programming, and community support.<\/p><p data-start=\"959\" data-end=\"1295\">Recognising the need for change, <a href=\"https:\/\/culturehousesunderland.co.uk\/washington\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sunderland Libraries<\/a> partnered with Bibliotheca to reimagine the library experience. Through the introduction of innovative RFID and library technology solutions, the libraries were able to modernise services, boost adoption of self-service, and create a seamless, enjoyable journey for every visitor.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-621dbe85 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"621dbe85\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">A Story of Transformation<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5630de4d elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"5630de4d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInDown&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-357da1c elementor-widget elementor-widget-jet-video\" data-id=\"357da1c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"jet-video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-jet-video jet-elements\">\n<div class=\"jet-video jet-video--fa5-compat jet-video-aspect-ratio jet-video-aspect-ratio--16-9\" data-settings=\"{&quot;lightbox&quot;:false,&quot;autoplay&quot;:false}\"><iframe class=\"jet-video-iframe\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay;encrypted-media\" title=\"youtube Video Player\" data-lazy-load=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WVUEwNNlVOo?feature=oembed&amp;start&amp;end&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;autoplay=0&amp;loop=0&amp;controls=1&amp;mute=0&amp;rel=0&amp;modestbranding=0\"><\/iframe>\n<div class=\"jet-video__overlay jet-video__overlay--custom-bg\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi_webp\/WVUEwNNlVOo\/maxresdefault.webp);\">\n<div class=\"jet-video__play-button\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Video play button\"><span class=\"jet-elements-icon jet-video__play-button-icon\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-play\"><\/i><\/span>\t<span class=\"elementor-screen-only\">Play Video<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bfff9a5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"bfff9a5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Smarter self-service for every customer<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e406fbb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e406fbb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p data-start=\"1349\" data-end=\"1665\">Before introducing Bibliotheca technology, most library transactions relied heavily on staff-assisted checkouts. This created longer queues, slower service, and limited opportunities for staff to focus on value-added activities. The transition to self-service needed to be simple, intuitive, and customer-friendly.<\/p><p data-start=\"1667\" data-end=\"2068\">Bibliotheca provided a full RFID migration, tagging more than 100,000 books across three Sunderland library sites. This formed the foundation for a smarter service journey. With RFID in place, <a href=\"https:\/\/culturehousesunderland.co.uk\/washington\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sunderland Libraries<\/a> introduced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bibliotheca.com\/en-gb\/solutions\/self-service-checkout\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">selfCheck<\/a> kiosks to enable quick and independent borrowing, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bibliotheca.com\/en-gb\/solutions\/intelligent-return-shelving\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">smartShelf borrow<\/a> units for seamless returns and browsing, and new security gates to protect valuable collections.<\/p><p data-start=\"2070\" data-end=\"2476\">The addition of the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bibliotheca.com\/en-gb\/solutions\/staff-tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> DLA inventoryWand<\/a> transformed stock management, allowing staff to scan entire shelves in minutes. Meanwhile, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bibliotheca.com\/en-gb\/solutions\/digital-communications\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">uniFi+<\/a> content platform added an entirely new layer of customer engagement. Through interactive screens, visitors could take part in polls and quizzes, access curated content, and provide real-time feedback, helping staff connect with their community in dynamic new ways.<\/p><p data-start=\"2478\" data-end=\"2726\">Together, these innovations created an effortless self-service environment where customers felt empowered to borrow and return books independently, while staff could dedicate their time to building relationships and delivering enriching programs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-21c61fcf elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"21c61fcf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"font-size: 19px; text-align: center; line-height: 1.4;\">\u201c<em>Speaking personally, it couldn\u2019t have gone better.
