New fancy Wellesley library automated book handler has dropped

Check out the new way the Wellesley Free Library (WFL) checks in books, DVDs, and other materials. The 530 Washington Street main branch’s new drive-up book drop with Automated Materials Handler is up and running, complete with a glass viewing panel so that patrons can watch the fun. There’s also a new walkway that allows pedestrians to safely access the book drop area.

Here’s a nifty Wellesley Public Media video starring the outstanding voiceover talents of WFL Assistant Director Elise MacLennan.

Don’t miss the August 1, noon – 1pm grand opening of AMH, complete with ribbon cutting and a behind-the-scenes tour for a close-up look of how the magic happens.
