Customer Services Kiosk

The Pharos Customer Services Kiosk is a self-service station that allows library patrons to deposit cash into their accounts to pay for print, copy, and other fee-based library services. It is powered by Pharos Uniprint—which can also enable pay-for-print—and it is entirely compatible with Pharos Off-The-Glass (to enable pay-for-copy) and Pharos SignUp (to manage PC reservations). Additionally, the Pharos Kiosk can interface directly with the most popular Library Management Systems, such as those offered by SirsiDynix and Innovative Interfaces.

A patron with an existing account can use the Pharos Kiosk to add value to it, while a guest can create and put funds into a temporary account—all without occupying a single moment of a librarian’s day. Librarians can easily review the amount that’s in the Kiosk’s cash box, and quickly empty it at the appropriate time.

Simple navigation, straightforward menu choices, and a touchscreen interface make the Kiosk very easy to use. And it frees up librarians’ valuable time, so they can concentrate on their core tasks.

If you have a requirement for patron account replenishment via credit or debit card, Pharos Systems welcomes the opportunity to talk with you about a custom Kiosk solution.
