The Library Lockers are located just inside the entrance to the Gellert Community Centre. They are designed to extend the coverage and accessibility of the library by providing a new place where patrons can pick up requested items, return items borrowed, as well as browse and borrow new books and more. The lockers provide quick, convenient, and contactless service for the community and people on the go.
This unique locker system is remotely connected to the Halton Hills Public Library information system allowing the library to check items out remotely, and notify patrons when items are ready to pick up. The system offers patrons ease of use with step-by-step instructions on the built-in touch screen, all with the swipe of a HHPL Card. The Library Lockers act as a satellite branch of the library that is full of a variety of books and resources that patrons are accustomed to, and they are accessible to all.
“We are very excited to showcase the new Library Lockers,” says Beverley King, Acting Chief Librarian and CEO “Libraries are known as innovators, providing books, and other items to everyone in the community in
unique ways. These lockers offer another way to borrow, browse and return items at the Gellert Community Centre. We encourage you to stop by and try them out for yourself.”
The new Library Lockers are part of the new 2023-2027 strategic plan and branding for Halton Hills Public Library, showing the vitality and future direction the library is taking to serve the residents of Halton Hills.
