Biometrics Replaces Library Cards in U.K. School

As reported by Telegraph, students at Higher Lane Primary in Manchester can now borrow and return books from the school library by using their fingerprints.

Students would swipe a bar code inside the book they want borrow and press their thumb to a scanner to authorize the loan. Books are returned in the same way.

The program is voluntary, and the biometric system is heavily encrypted with no images of fingerprints being stored.
