In collaboration with INTECH company, the Liangzihu District Library leverages new technologies and methods to provide residents with more convenient and efficient services. Service robots navigate through the library, offering intelligent assistance and guiding readers in borrowing books. Self-check kiosks, equipped with RFID chips, allow readers to borrow or return multiple books at once, streamlining the process. Smart inventory carts accurately record the location and status of each book, helping library staff quickly locate needed materials and further enhancing the reading environment. The big data library analysis system, based on the analysis and mining of vast amounts of data within the library's integration system, displays real-time reading metrics on screens, offering readers insights into library trends and other readers' activities, making data serve the readers. The smart mini library is open 24/7, providing high-quality, uninterrupted service for readers who work late or have no time to visit during the day. Various self-service and intelligent devices act as extensions of the library staff, seamlessly integrating cutting-edge technology with the library to deliver a more diverse, comfortable, convenient, and intelligent experience for residents in Liangzihu District.
