It is a new solution to an old frustration.
When it's time to renew your driver license, you'll now be able to skip the line at the driver service Center.
Renewing your driver license almost always involves a lengthy line.
At the AAA office in Cool Springs, you'll find one of 30 new self-service driver license kiosks.
The kiosks can be used to renew or replace an existing license or state ID card.
They're designed to be quick and easy to use.
The computer will guide you through a few simple steps, and take your picture.
The photo is matched to the state database using facial recognition.
The kiosks provide a temporary print out. The new license will be mailed in few days.
The state has installed the kiosks across the state, including several county clerk's offices.
So while the lines may be long at the driver service center, at the Cool Springs AAA, the kiosk is ready for its next customer.
The new kiosks cost the state about $45,000 dollars each.

Memphis libraries seeking funding
May 25, 2013 13:07 GMT
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- The public library system in Memphis is hoping to secure $2.9 million to add employees and increase its collection.
The Memphis Daily News (http://bit.ly/19BANxH) reports the Memphis Public Library & Information Center cites the figures as part of its strategic plan.
A study by the Friends of the Library and the Memphis Library Foundation found that during the past five years, the system's budget has been cut 21 percent and hours were reduced 20 percent.
The goal of the new funding would be to add 47 employees to the 18-location library system and increase the collections budget to $2 million from less than $1 million.
Library director Keenon McCloy says the plan is a "roadmap for the future."
