Become a Passport Acceptance Facility
Interested in generating additional revenue, increasing community visibility, expanding your services and driving additional foot traffic through your doors? Consider applying to become a Passport Acceptance Facility. In 2015, more than 16 million passports were issued – 7.9 million of these applications were accepted by a network of 7,300 acceptance facilities. The State Department is projecting the demand for passports to rise to 20 million issuances annually over the next two years.
Public libraries have the opportunity to grow their services by providing a convenient way for patrons living and working in their area to submit their applications.

Spotlight: GabbieTake your patron care to the next level with “Gabbie,” Apollo’s two-way texting feature. Patrons will receive text notifications from a custom SMS/cell number, solely for your library. You’ll have a communications console to conduct conversations that links directly to patrons’ accounts – no additional equipment needed. "Gabbie" can also be used for an “Ask a Librarian” type feature on your website or within emails.

As librarians, you know the value of the Deep Web and the premium resources that most of you offer to patrons. We thought you might enjoy how this graphic depicts the situation. (The original source is unclear, but thanks to the Anacortes Public Library in Washington for bringing it to our attention.)
