A-6 Wednesday, July 20, 2022 The Press-Dispatch Pike County Public Library offers Smart Locker System By Sherri Sebella News Editor sherri@pressdispatch.net The Pike County Public Librar y (PCPL) has added a 30 bin locker system at the Petersburg Branch. These lockers will allow for items placed on hold to be picked up 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with your physical librar y card or the card on your phone. As items are placed on hold, staff will pull the items from the shelves, process them, and place them in the lockers. Once a Patron scans their card at the locker system, a door will open and their items will automatically be checked out. The Patron just needs to close the door and take their items. The lockers are outside the Petersburg Branch, next to the front doors, right next to the return bin for Patrons to return their items as necessary. "Beginning mid-August, this enhanced convenience will roll out allowing the PCPL to better ser ve our community," Stephanie Raw- lins, PCPL Director, said. err y Modrusic of Decision One, installs the Biblithe- ca Remote Locker system at the Pike County Public Librar y (PCPL) on Thursday.

Join the crowd supporting a move to homegrown energy: www.hoosiersforrenewables.com/pike Most Hoosiers are practical people. When we look ahead to the future, we want reliability and security with energy. And homegrown is even better. Our local communities are lining up to support renewables, because new projects mean new injections of capital to support important projects – from school bleachers to broadband! Indiana now has more than 120 renewable energy projects underway. Many solar and wind operations provide power to the grid, and our state's endorsement of renewable energy gives us more flexibility for future growth and a brighter future for our families. Lower Cost. Homegrown. Practical Power for the Future.
