RFID Codes On Way To 14 Locations
Fourteen Queens Library branches will be converted to RFID (radio-frequency identification) check-in and check-out over the next several months, it was announced.
RFID check-in and check-out is faster and more accurate than the old bar code readers and paves the way for self-service check-in and checkout to be installed at a later date, ac- cording to Queens Library.
All work will be done on weekends. Two locations-Fresh Meadows and Far Rockaway-will be closed for one Saturday each to permit the work to be completed.
The Fresh Meadows branch at 193-20 Horace Harding Expwy. will be closed on Saturday, Jan. 21, while
–SEE RFID ON PG. 62- the Far Rockaway location at 1637 Central Ave. will be shut on Saturday, Jan. 28. Both locations will resume regular business hours on the following Mondays.
