Staff Challenges Addressed
Operational Efficiency: Traditional systems often complicate the lending and return processes, making them prone to errors and inefficiencies. This not only hampers the workflow but also diminishes the user experience.
Accessibility: The essence of a library lies in its accessibility. However, conventional operating hours can sometimes act as barriers, limiting patrons from accessing invaluable resources at their convenience.

The City of Gold Coast's Transformation with the Lyngsoe LibCabinet™
In today's fast-paced world, the demand for convenient and accessible services is ever-growing. Libraries, the cornerstone of knowledge and community engagement, are no exception. LibCabinet is a smart modern solution that bridges the gap between traditional library services and the modern user's needs.
The City of Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia, stands as a beacon of urban vibrancy, home to over 600,000 residents. With 13 branch libraries under its management, the city has always been at the forefront of offering unparalleled library services. However, with changing times and evolving user demands, the City of Gold Coast sought to further enhance its library services. Enter the Lyngsoe LibCabinet, a modern solution that redefined the traditional library experience and made Gold Coast overcome their challenges.
Despite its extensive network of libraries, the City of Gold Coast recognized the need to make its services more accessible, especially in areas distant from conventional library branches. The goal was clear: to bring books closer to the people, irrespective of their location, and offer a seamless borrowing experience.

Statement from Carmarthenshire
We needed a solution that allowed us to extend opening hours for a rural library beyond staffed hours, provided a solution that built on the customers’ ability to self-serve post covid and maintained a presence and ensured the library was alive and kicking in the heart of the community even when Library staff were not on site. The LibCabinet ticked the boxes for this, and its functionality was far more intuitive than other products on the market.
The Smart Hold shelf has allowed us to streamline the collection of reservations for customers who can now access their holds without waiting for a member of staff to hunt them out in another room or locate them on an overcrowded shelf. In turn staff are able to concentrate on other tasks and the time saved can be spent engaging with customers whether it be answering queries on physical and digital resources or encouraging take up of initiatives like summer reading challenge.
We bought the new tech as it is Innovative, Eye-Catching Design, Ease of use for self-serving customers of all ages, Knowledge and support of the Lyngsoe’s Team and the enthusiasm they shared with us to create the first fully automated Library in Wales
With budget restrictions and as an innovative Library service, we are always looking to do more with less in terms of budgets. Everything coming on the horizon such as AI points to self-service Libraries being the way forward in the future. Delivering the service without the need for constant staff presence.
Increased opening hours through self service solutions helps in meeting Welsh Public Library standards for the service/self-service frees up staff to concentrate on other aspects of their roles that improve customer experience when visiting our Libraries.
We are always excited as a team by first of its kind products such as the smart hold shelf and we are driven by being the first Library service in Wales to pilot and showcase these products/Again the LibCabinet provided the solution we were missing in terms of creating the first fully automated Library in Wales.
