NJ, UNITED STATES, January 20, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- LibraryWorks' Modern Library Awards (MLAs), known for their unbiased evaluation process, rely on feedback from librarians with hands-on experience using the products in their facilities. D-Tech's SMART Hold Lockers received an outstanding score of 9.25 out of 10, securing the Platinum award in recognition of their

exceptional quality, functionality, and customer satisfaction.

Marvin Crisp, Founder and Owner of D-Tech International, expressed his enthusiasm: "We are thrilled to receive this Platinum distinction for our SMART Hold Lockers. This award reflects our commitment to innovation and our dedication to meeting the evolving needs of libraries and their patrons. For us, it’s the greatest endorsement that librarians, who use our products daily, have rated us so highly. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank them for their time and input in judging our product."

Jenny Newman, publisher and MLA program manager, said: “It’s a testament to D-Tech and the continued difference their Hold Lockers make to libraries that they have received yet another Platinum distinction from our judges.”

A survey conducted by D-Tech last month, gathering responses from nearly 70 library customers in the US and UK, revealed that the most valued features of D-Tech's SMART Hold Lockers were integration with library catalog systems (76%) and 24/7 collection and return (63%).

Other benefits include weather-resistant design for indoor or outdoor installation, cloud-based management for easy staff operation and an expandable modular system to meet growing demands.

The MLA judges were particularly impressed with service quality, awarding a perfect score. One judge commented, "The locker systems have been great...they were instantly a hit with our community. The system software and hardware just work and have been outside in the Florida humidity the entire time.”
