These lockers provide space for students (and other patrons) to safely store and recharge their electronic devices. The lockers will hold couple of laptops. They won't hold any bags, coats, etc. The patrons enter the locker code. The locks are automatically opened every night, and the locks are reset. Any contents left in the lockers go to lost and found. The system works well for electronic things. Christopher J.J.

It works fine so far.

Our current lockers are operated by keys but patrons sometimes forget to turn in the keys. Ed Ed Redmond Geography and Map Division Library of Congress 101 Indepepence Avenue, SE Washington, DC 20540
