Sorry, but I don't think it's an edge case. It's very usual for a lot of the
libraries that patrons use more than one branch.

You'd change your Apache configuration to keep your normal URL as it is, but
have 2 separate URLs for each branch of your library. Say: branch1.library.org
and branch2.library.org - using those with the sys pref overwrite at the self
check stations would then help select the right patron. But this discussion is
getting out of scope here - Apache setup should be better discussed on the
mailing list.
