DISCUSSION
On March 16, 2021, the City Council approved an agreement between the City of Santa Ana and Invengo America Corporation for the Library’s Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) project, which included embedding library materials with RFID tags and purchasing equipment to work with the new RFID system. In addition, an amendment was executed on April 5, 2022 to add circulation assistant pads, live scanning wands, and contingency funds for additional RFID tags.
The Library would like to enter into a new agreement with Invengo America Corporation to add two security gates for the Delhi Library Branch, maintenance support services for new and existing equipment, and a contingency fund for additional equipment and services as needed.
Security gates act as a deterrent and protect library materials. Integrating with patron counter software, the security gates provide valuable statistics on library patronage and details of items that are detected by the gates. Additionally, the software also tracks the number of library visitors against the time of day. This helps the Library accurately identify peak periods in order to manage staffing requirements.
