THOROFARE, NJ -- 03/27/08 --
Checkpoint Systems, Inc.'s (NYSE: CKP) Patron
Services Division, the leading provider of technology-driven patron
services for libraries, today announced that the Albuquerque/Bernalillo
County Public Library System in Albuquerque, N.M. agreed to implement
Checkpoint's "Youniquely 4 U" (Y4U) service that helps libraries offer
highly relevant programs and information to patrons based on their unique
interests and needs.
The Albuquerque/Bernalillo County Library System first deployed Y4U at the
Juan Tabo Library in late 2007. Based on the positive results from its
implementation of Y4U, the first patron communications service of its kind
ever to be introduced to the public library market in North America, the
library entered into a three-year agreement with Checkpoint to expand Y4U
to an additional 15 branches throughout the city and county.
Launched last year, Y4U has already been deployed at a number of public
libraries in various markets nationwide, generating exceptional response
from patrons everywhere it has been implemented.
"The Y4U service allows library staff to touch their patrons when they are
most likely to appreciate the bundling of information and resources to
enrich their interests," said Julia Clarke, director of the
Albuquerque/Bernalillo County Library System. "The patrons at our Juan
Tabo branch had a tremendous response to the program, so we are excited to
roll it out to branches throughout our system."
