A library with no librarians: Concord branch tests self-service option for Sunday access

Everyone’s familiar with self-checkout at the grocery store, self-service at gas stations and ATMs, and now, self-service is entering the picture at the Concord Library.

Library patrons who sign up in advance will be able to enter the library between 12 p.m. And 4 p.m. on Sundays, beginning Dec. 1. There will not be any staff on site, but two security guards will be present to ensure that only patrons who have signed up for the service will enter.
