CPL

So the City of Calgary Library, which is just a world-class system in my mind, has installed a curious thing outside of some of their buildings.  Along with the normal drop-off slot there is a new spot that resembles an ATM where if you press the button you can 'check in' your books or CDs.  I can't for the life of me figure out what the purpose of this is.  Generally you can pull up and drop off your books/etc and have it done in mere seconds and now there's this setup that makes that process longer with no benefit to the people involved.  I propose the CPL post a sign up next to these new systems that state 'For Your Inconvenience!'
