The misplacement of books in a library is a common problem, which makes books difficult to locate. We propose a smart bookshelf solution based on RFID technology to allow easy locating of books. In our proposed solution, each book is equipped with a RFID tag while each layer of a bookshelf is equipped with a RFID reader. The bookshelf could then detect which books are shelved there and where each of them should be. The RFID readers collect and transfer the book placement information to a management system with which patrons and librarians can easily locate a given book.
