Shredding Services Shredding Guidelines Deer Park Public Library is providing shredding services to its patrons free of charge. A shredding container is installed in the hallway next to the Fax and Copy machines.  Guidelines to patrons: Patrons should limit their shredding to 500 sheets of paper per week. Only personal sensitive documents (bank statements, tax materials, bills, etc.) are to be deposited. Folders, magazines, books, newspapers, junk mail, generic print materials and any other items may not be inserted in the container. In case the shredding container is temporarily full, documents for shredding may not be left in any other place in the library. This service is only for personal use by the patrons of Deer Park Public Library. Businesses may not use this service. Patrons can contact Adult Reference Department with any questions in regards to this service: (631) 586-3000.   Document Security Information Shredding receptacles and document destruction services are provided by the vendor Shred-it (www.shredit.com). Documents are stored in a locked container in the library and are regularly collected by Shred-it. Shred-it is certified by NAID AAA and meets or exceeds the requirements established by the National Association for Information Destruction. Sustainability Shred-it recycles and repurposes shredded materials whenever possible, following NAID AAA-certified processes.

RFID Checkout

What is RFID?

RFID is an acronym for radio-frequency identification. It is a combination of radio -frequency-based technology and microchip technology used in just about every field. Examples include highway toll passes, credit cards, and Disney swipe passes to name a few.
For library purposes, all of our materials have been “tagged”. The tag contains electronically stored information used to identify each object. This allows you to place a stack of items on the “reader” and check them out quickly and easily. View our video above of a fourth grader using the checkout, to see how easy it is.
All you need is a library card and password!
Check out this clip from an episode of “The Big Bang Theory” to see how Sheldon makes use of RFID technology!
