3M is making libraries more efficient and responsive to patrons - from processing and checkout to check-in. How materials flow into, within and out of a library is one of the most overlooked aspects of library design. Yet it can make the difference between a library that's secure, efficient and responsive to its patrons... and one that's not. 3M Materials Flow Management streamlines the flow of library materials. Making it faster and more efficient. Eliminating steps. Reducing handling. And boosting security. All three areas of materials flow-processing, checkout and check-in can be improved dramatically with 3M Materials Flow Management products. 3M systems fit easily into both existing libraries and new construction plans. Experienced 3M staff can assist you in design, and 3M-trained technicians will install the systems once designs are approved.
