Libraries are expected to increase their program offerings and also improve customer service without adding staff. So, most of these libraries are turning to RFID technology. It enhances the speed and accuracy of flow and shelving functions, thus freeing library staff to provide direct service to its users. Another advantage is that it helps protect a library’s collection and ensures that the community gets the most value out of the library. According to the sources of Eco Track Systems, the monotonous motion required by barcode scanners, including rollover an item and tilting it correctly, fetches libraries a great amount a year in workplace injuries. However, installing an RFID system requires an investment, but it is usually regained within two years, and the benefits of the system can last for more than a decade. It ensures both inherent and rewarding experiences for both staff and users, and provides great value to librarians and is easier for youths to use.

An RFID-furnished library usually has readers at the circulation desk and the self-service counter, with additional readers installed in security gates that control the access in and out of a car park through its use. RFID gates for library installed to detect books or other media that have not been checked out, and efficient protection deter thieves without intimidating patrons. The gate reader will sound an alert immediately to return or check the item out. In some libraries, it is also used in an automated returns and material handling system. Productivity can be further increased with a handheld reader, used to pull holds and transports materials after check-in, scan shelves for missing books or take a full record of the collection. Faster, easier checkout and check-in by a librarian or a user, and increased interaction from the library are the other benefits. RFID technology allows several items to be processed at once without requiring alignment.
