A new scan-and-go service is now available at the Coronado Public Library in which patrons can check out books with their smartphones.
The app works by using near field communication technology, according to the library. Library-goers can also use the Cloud Library app to view more than 2,000 streaming movies or check out one of the 250,000 eBooks available.Sign up for NBC San Diego newsletters.
“We are constantly exploring new ways to improve the customer experience and with this technology, we are leading the field in maximizing convenience for our patrons,” Shaun Briley, Coronado Library Director, said in a statement. Multiple accounts can be linked to the app on a single phone, so members of the same household can use it in lieu of a library card.
