This is an alternative service model, comprised of several complimentary components: two lending library kiosks, holds pick-up lockers and a returns bin. It is a newer type of library service, with automated holds pickup lockers and vending-machine style library material dispensers, the first of their kind in Canada.
Library material dispensers
These dispensers are a vending-machine style delivery system for library books. There are two kiosk dispensers with specialized popular collections for children and adults.
Customers can borrow items from the machine by scanning their library card and punching in the row number of the item they wish to borrow. The desired item will fall into a receptacle at the bottom of the kiosk and a receipt is also available from the machine. It is important to note that Kiosk collection items cannot be requested or renewed.
Holds pick-up lockers
Coming Soon – New Lockers
Please contact InfoService@BiblioOttawaLibrary.ca or 613-580-2940 if you would like to redirect your holds to a different pick-up location.
Replacement lockers will be delivered to the community centre the week of February 26, 2024. Installation, testing and staff training will take place over the next several weeks. We anticipate that by mid-to-late March 2024, clients can begin placing holds for pick-up in the new locker system.
Please note: The vending machines and the return bin remain available to clients.
We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
