checkout desks
Borrowing transaction stations
Checkout desks are the counters in libraries where patrons borrow and return materials.
Staff scan items, issue library cards, and handle fines.
The term also applies to service counters in stores where customers complete purchases, though these are more commonly called checkout counters or simply checkouts.
