This chapter describes a solution for an automated book manipulator in libraries. Nowadays, library automation is referring to hardware and software systems that are implemented in the library process activities in order to automate book handling applications. As libraries provide a huge content of printed materials, the automation of books handling becomes a must. In the same point of view, a large amount of routine and repetitive activities will be reduced in the workplace of shelves and in service point. Some similar state-of-the-art developments are presented. This article presents CAD models of two book manipulators and also an innovative design approach in designing library book handling gripper mechanisms. The parallel gripper prototype is manufactured using light-weight thermoplastic reinforced material for the mobile finger. A field test with the developed book manipulator experimental model was conducted in the test laboratory.
