The Fort Worth Public Library uses a
VoiceStamps system to round up overdue books. Twice a day, the system
communicates with the library's database and gets a list of overdue
books and who checked them out. Then, every patron with an overdue book
gets called and delivered a prerecorded message reminding them to return
the book. Since installation, the library has saved money on the postage
to mail out reminders as well as many manpower hours.
