National Entitlement Card introduced in Scottish Borders
All library members in the Borders are to be re-registered as part of the National Entitlement Card Programme. Bus passes and Young Scot cards will be adapted to allow the holder to access a range of Council services and borrow books, music CDs and DVDs from the libraries too.
The re-registration programme starts in Jedburgh Library this week. 'Smart-ening' the library membership card is part of the Council's Customer First initiative and part of the Scottish Executive's plans to provide a 'one card for everything' approach to service delivery.
The National Entitlement Card Programme has been in development for the past three years. Pilots have been completed and it is hoped that 16 local authorities will be able to offer this service the end of 2008, with the rest following in 2009.
