Belgrave Library re-opens tomorrow

Belgrave Library re-opens tomorrow at 10am after a small renovation of the desk and the addition of RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) gates and two self check units. It looks great.

Staff will be introducing members to the Self Check units and showing how it works - I'm calling these two Ben & Barbie (Ben is on the left, Barbie on the right)...the previous ones at Montrose and Yarra Junction are called Bob and Betty respectively.

Cheers, Maryanne
