Self-service products
EXTEND YOUR LIBRARY TO NEW LOCATIONS
With the Lyngsoe LibCabinet™, you can offer an independent mini library at an indoor location of your choice; the patrons can have access to your books 24/7. With a combined check-in, check-out and holds function, all you need is a network cable and power outlet. The LibCabinet allows you to maintain or even significantly extend the library’s reach.
STYLISH AND HIGH ACCESSIBILITY
The stylish, transparent doors are equipped with an electronic lock that can easily be opened by presenting a patron card to a card reader. The patron takes the books he or she wants and just closes the door again. After closing the door, the LibCabinet prints out a receipt, which tells the patron exactly which books he or she has taken and when they need to be returned.
Returning a book is equally simple: present the card – open the door – return the book – close the door.
Hublet - TABLET LENDING SOLUTION
The Hublet is the perfect solution for libraries that wish to offer loanable tablets for their visitors and complement their services with digital content and materials. It is the only service combining easy management with top-of-the-line security and privacy features in a complete, cost-efficient solution.
INTUITIVE FOR STAFF AND PATRONS
Showing a library card and typing in the corresponding PIN code will release a tablet from the charging station. Library staff is in charge of the content: the tablets may include e-books and magazines, games for children, information on the library, and a link to a feedback survey. The intuitive online management tool makes it easy to update and modify the content according to visitor feedback and requests.

The Phoenix self-check unit has a high-end design, utilizing high-quality finishes. With its slim, light, spacious and attractive design, the Lyngsoe Phoenix™ self-check kiosk is specifically designed to meet the needs of today’s libraries. A glass table is used to create a sense of lightness and to make the device discreet in the library space, while still being a fully functional tabletop for patrons to use for their materials. The design fits all library materials will be placed correctly in the opening with market-leading regrade.

Lyngsoe Phoenix™ Tabletop - modern open frame construction
The super sleek desktop Lyngsoe Phoenix Tabletop™ is designed for barcode and RFID sites. It is powered by intuitive Librid3 self-service software with customizable screen elements. The software is easy to use. A typical lending process takes only a few steps and the materials are simply placed on the tabletop as advised on the screen – potentially in a stack, if RFID is implemented.

Smart RFID return shelf
The shelves that include RFID antennas are specially designed for checking in books and are meant to be placed near the library’s entrance. Every time a patron returns an item to the shelf, it sends the information directly to the library system and registers the material as returned.
Returning materials does not take more than just placing the item on the shelf. Anywhere. That’s it. No more queues, no more waiting in line. Five seconds and all contents are read.
Smart and easy holds management
Intelligent hold pick up shelves use proven RFID technology that allows easy holds management. The Intelligent holds pickup solution will eliminate the need for hold slips. This will increase privacy for patrons, streamline holds management and reduce workload for library staff.
Use of RFID smart shelves allows staff to place items freely in holds pickup shelves. Items are no longer needed to be placed on shelves in alphabetical order or based on dates when the item is available for pickup. RFID smart shelves will always know the position for each item. The position of the item will be informed to the patron to pick up the correct item without using hold slips.
WORKING FOR
SMARTER LIBRARIES
We work for smarter libraries. Not to help them survive. But to make them thrive. By automating complexity, libraries are freed to focus on becoming once again the centre of words, thoughts, ideas and culture. Join us, and help lead the way.
Security
PG45 and PG50 RFID
Your library’s collection is a valued community investment. To protect these library resources you can use the detection gates. The gates help you protect your print materials and digital media from unintended removal or theft. When someone walks between the gates with a library item that is not checked out properly an alarm will sound.
It is hard to believe we have managed to fit this much performance into something as thin as this. Our gates are especially designed to blend into your library whilst maintaining the open character of your building. With its sleek design (only 20mm width) and high performance, the fully transparent gates are an absolute must-have for every library.
Slim, transparent, available in multiple corridors
Electromagnetic technology utilizes EM-labels hidden between the pages of books and is, therefore, an ideal choice for libraries where the security of the collection is of the highest priority. The EM700 with its clear Plexiglas® transparent material creates a sense of space, invaluable for congested entrances and is a very desirable design among architects.
The alarm is indicated by sound and light, which is built into the antennae. The duration of the alarm sound and light is adjustable. Modern technology helps prevent false alarms from, for example, mobile phones and the alarm is adjustable to suit the surroundings to achieve high levels of detection. Gates can also be connected to video surveillance and other external systems.
Library staff tools
Wireless inventory and item search
Lyngsoe Library Clerk™ is one of the most powerful RFID handheld readers available for libraries. It combines excellent reading performance with a compact, convenient size while still managing to be one of the lightest devices of its kind.
The device is extremely ergonomic to use, allowing extended periods of comfortable use with one hand. The adjustable and flexible antenna further increases ergonomy by allowing items at different heights to be scanned with ease.
