Does waiting in line make you grumpy? The Nashua Public Library Children’s Room and main floor Circulation Desk now offer Self Checkout, to keep you smiling.

It’s simple:

* Scan your library card and enter your PIN using the mouse.

* An information screen identifies you by name, displays how many items are currently checked out, and whether you have Holds available for pickup or owe any fines. Rarely, this screen indicates that you cannot use self checkout and that you must go to the Circulation Desk.

* Next, scan the barcode for each item. If your item has a pocket, put a card in it.

* Click on the Finish button and your receipt will print. On-screen and voice prompts assist you through each step.

Everything is available for self checkout except DVDs and CDs, which staff must remove from security cases prior to checkout. So visit the library and check it out yourself!
