Description Design and install an Automated Material Handler; specifically a six-bin sorter with 2 internal patron inlets and 1 staff inlet. Estimated cost includes all shipping, installation, and staff training. Justification The Library was built to accommodate an Automated Material Handler (AMH) in the returns area/circulation workroom on the first floor. Our circulation system includes use of RFID tagging. Adding an AMH to ICPL’s workflow would significantly reduce the number of times a material is handled throughout the circulation process by automating several parts of check-in and check-out procedures. It would also allow for more accurate data collection related to physical collection use and allow staff hours to be allocated to other critical services. Combined, this would result in increased access to materials for library users. Total Project Cost: $150,000 Status Active

Budget Impact/Other Despite a significant up-front cost, AMH's lead to a reduction in staff hours related to check-in and check-out procedures and increased efficiancy overall (reducing costs related to manually managing material searching and locating). The estimated annual cost savings is less than $10,000 per year.

Priority Efficiency Improvement (3)
Description Engage qualified experts to assess and evaluate the efficiency of work and public spaces in the Library building as well as environmental impacts. Project will reflect an emphasis on flexible spaces and sustainable practices. Justification As the library building ages, we want to ensure we are taking all necessary steps to maintain energy efficiency and mitigate our impact on the environment while providing the most efficient work spaces for staff and usable spaces for the public. Findings may lead to in-house changes managed by our facilities team or to larger-scale adjustments requested in future years. Adjacent space (MERGE) will be included in the assessments.
