In today’s libraries, convenience and speed have become just as important as access to knowledge. Readers expect quick ways to borrow and return books, check their accounts, or clear fines without waiting in long queues.
The Advanced Self-Service Kiosk from 2Cqr brings this comfort to life. Thoughtfully built for modern libraries, it simplifies daily operations while offering a clean, user friendly experience. Blending smart technology with elegant design, it helps your library serve patrons effectively and independently.
Let’s take a look at some of its new and advanced features that make this kiosk a more smarter and more practical choice for modern libraries.
A Modern Design That Fits Anywhere :
Every library is unique .Some prefer elegant wooden interiors, while others have modern minimalistic spaces. Our kiosk comes in multiple design options, so it doesn’t just perform well ,it looks right at home. Whether you want a compact floor standing model or a sleek wall mounted version, we ensure that your kiosk matches your space, theme, and aesthetic perfectly.
You can even add your institution’s logo or branding, giving the kiosk a personalized, professional touch that builds a stronger identity.
Smarter Authentication: Face, Fingerprint & RFID Card :
Forget long ID numbers or typing passwords. The new kiosk offers multiple authentication methods :
- Face recognition,
- Fingerprint scanning, and
- RFID card integration
for an easy login experience.
This means students and staff can quickly identify themselves and complete issue or return transactions in seconds. It’s touch friendly, and easy for everyone to use.
NCIP Protocol Support :
Our advanced kiosk supports NCIP (NISO Circulation Interchange Protocol), which allows it to communicate directly with your Library Management System (LMS). This makes the system much smarter and more responsive. With real-time integration, the kiosk can instantly display important patron information such as membership details, books currently borrowed, any outstanding fines, and ongoing transactions all directly on the screen.
It gives users a clear picture of their library account in seconds, helping them manage renewals, returns, and payments without having to ask the librarian for assistance. Everything stays up to date automatically, making the whole process more transparent.
Institute Branding Included :
Libraries often reflect the spirit of an institution, and your kiosk can too. With 2cqr’s self service kiosk, you can add your institute’s name, logo, or emblem on both the screen and the body of the kiosk.
It’s a small detail that gives the kiosk a personal and professional touch, helping users instantly recognise it as part of your library. This simple bit of branding adds a sense of connection every time someone uses it.
Customizable Receipt Printing :
Every library has different needs from issuing book details to displaying return due dates or fine amounts.
That’s why we’ve made receipt printing fully customizable.
You can decide what information appears on each slip, ensuring it’s relevant, clear, and useful for your patrons.
Built in Reports using our Updated Software :
Our updated software now includes built in reports that help librarians monitor kiosk usage, transaction trends, and system performance all in one place.
No need for separate tools or data exports just open the admin dashboard and see everything clearly.
These reports make it easier to understand how patrons are using the kiosk and where the library can improve its services.
Customized UI Designs to Match Your Theme :
We know that every institution has its own colour scheme and visual identity.
That’s why 2cqr offers customized UI designs from colours and icons to button placements and backgrounds to match your institute’s theme or branding style.
It’s technology made personal. The result? The Kiosk feels like a natural part of your library’s ecosystem.
