Around 90% are now regularly using the barcode scanning computers to borrow and return books.
Library manager Joanne Ryan is pleased with the take up and urged others to try the system out.
She said: "There are still some library users who are reluctant to use the self service because they think the machines are putting staff out of jobs. It's not like that at all - the staff want to be more involved with the community, and self service frees up our time to run activites like rhyme and story time.
"If people have any difficulty using the self service they can ask us for help and we'll be more than happy to show them."
The machines are mounted on tables that can be raised or lowered for younger library users - and kids can make checking out and returning books more fun by selecting the safari or under sea modes on the screen.
