El Paso Libraries Set for Temporary Closures for Tech Enhancements
August 4, 2025 - 03:33
EL PASO, Texas — The El Paso Public Library is preparing to temporarily close all its branches to facilitate a significant upgrade to its technology systems. This initiative aims to implement Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology across the library network, enhancing the efficiency of library services.
The closures will allow for the installation of RFID equipment, which is expected to streamline the check-out and return processes for library materials. This modernization effort is designed to improve inventory management and enhance the overall user experience for library patrons.
Library officials have emphasized the importance of these upgrades in keeping the library system current with technological advancements. While specific closure dates for each branch have yet to be announced, the library encourages patrons to take advantage of the services available before the temporary shutdowns begin.
Community members are urged to stay informed about the progress of the upgrades and the reopening dates through official library communications.
