See The AutoLend in Action

In this short video, Cyndy Cotton, Executive Director of the Osterville Village Library, introduces their new AutoLend installation on Cape Cod and shows how patrons use it to access library materials 24/7.

Cyndy calls AutoLend “a game changer,” highlighting how it gives the community round-the-clock access to a curated selection of books, DVDs, children’s titles, and young adult materials - all through a simple, self-service experience.

This real-world installation demonstrates how AutoLend expands access, improves convenience, and delivers modern library service without increasing staff or space demands.

Altadena Public Library

Altadena originally installed 2 AutoLends- located at a Pizza restaurant and their main branch. After the devastating Eaton fires, we relocated the main branch machine to a local park so they could serve their community where they needed it most.
