## High-Visibility Library Technology Products for Outreach

# WHAT IS LL6?

## A Library Vending Machine Designed to Be Seen

As part of our broader library technology services, LL6 helps libraries extend access in a simple, highly visible way - without the complexity of a full-service system. LL6 is a **high-visibility library vending machine** inspired by the familiar look of modern snack machines - making it instantly approachable for patrons.

Unlike AutoLend, LL6 focuses on **simple, grab-and-go lending** for books and media. It does not provide full catalog browsing or built-in returns - allowing it to remain compact, intuitive, and highly visible.

LL6 is ideal for libraries that want to:

- Promote reading outside the traditional library
- Place materials in unexpected, high-traffic spaces
- Create a strong visual presence for outreach and discovery
- Expand access to high circulating items

#### Focused Collections, High Impact

#### Capacity: Up To 500 Library Materials

LL6 supports:

- Adult and children’s books
- Media items such as DVDs, discs, and games

Libraries often curate LL6 collections around:

- New and most popular titles
- Youth and teen materials
- Literacy outreach initiatives
- Community-specific interests
- Seasonal Collections

#### Built For Libraries

As with all solutions from **International Library Services**, LL6:

- Supports barcode and RFID technology
- Is ADA compliant
- Integrates with any ILS
- Includes service and support for long-term reliability
- Is designed for real-world library use

### See LL6 In Action

## Real Outreach. Real Community Impact.

In this short video, the Director of the **Anderson County Library** shares the library’s vision for outreach - bringing **24/7 access to books and media** to an underserved area through a community partnership with **Food Lion**.

By installing an **LL6 Library Book Vending Machine** inside a local grocery store, the library meets patrons where they already are - making library materials accessible in an unexpected, high-traffic space.

This approach shows how LL6 supports modern outreach by helping libraries:

 ✔ Serve rural and underserved populations  
✔ Expand access without building new branches  
✔ Partner with trusted community locations  
✔ Keep collections circulating 24/7

 

It’s a powerful example of how libraries can extend their reach beyond traditional walls - using visibility, convenience, and strategic placement to connect with more patrons. This makes LL6 one of the most effective library technology products for outreach and discovery in everyday community spaces.

## Why Libraries Choose LL6

#### Built for Visibility

LL6’s modern, snack-style design:

- Draws attention in busy environments
- Feels familiar and intuitive to patrons
- Encourages discovery and impulse borrowing
- Makes the library visible beyond its walls

This is outreach people notice.

### Simple, Focused Lending

LL6 is intentionally streamlined.

It lends:

- Books
- Media

No complex workflows. No on-screen catalog browsing. Just fast, self-service access where speed and simplicity matter most.

## LL6 stands out among today’s library tech products by focusing on visibility, simplicity, and ease of use in high-traffic environments.

## Add Convenient Returns To Your LL6 Installation

#### Built for Visibility

For libraries that want to offer **returns alongside lending**, LL6 can be paired with a **Book Drop Companion**.

This optional add-on allows patrons to:

- Return books and media at the same location
- Drop items securely, 24/7
- Keep lending and returns simple without adding staff

The Book Drop Companion:

- Works alongside LL6 (not inside the machine)
- Maintains LL6’s clean, high-visibility footprint
- Supports efficient circulation without complicating the lending experience

Libraries can choose:

- **LL6 for lending only**, or
- **LL6 + Book Drop Companion** for a complete, self-service lending-and-return solution

Together, LL6 and the Book Drop create a simple, effective combination of library technology services that supports both lending and returns in one location.
