Kiosks, honor system to check library parking
September 19, 2007

Gazette.net: When library patrons were granted free parking privileges in Bethesda, Md., they soon found themselves competing for spots with folks trying to snag free space while they did other business. Now, a kiosk is on guard. Library users park, note the number of the space and enter into the self-service device when they enter the building. Periodically, a parking enforcement officer matches numbers from the machine with occupied spots, and tickets cars that have been signed in at the kiosk. Each sign-in is good for two hours.
