JMJ, yes, using a pi, arduino, PIC, or just about anything would work. https://www.adafruit.com/products/789 is designed for Arduino. They also have a good PDF on RFID in general at http://www.adafruit.com/datasheets/rfid%20guide.pdf
Life will be easier if you use arduino shields with arduino's and Pi hats for the Pi's. Basically the Arduino uses 5V and Pi is 3.3V based logic. But there are always exceptions in life. With proper searching you might find a commercial implementation that isn't to pricy and easier to use/plug&play.
