Comments
The Library Pod is a new collection outreach initiative for Ipswich Libraries as we continue our goal to bring more of our curated collections to the community.
The mission of the innovative project is to place our beautifully designed Library Pods in popular and busy community or retail hubs, with a curated offering of multiple copies of our most popular and trending books readily available for everyone in easy to use, self-serve RFID powered collection cabinets.
This ambitious and pioneering Library outreach project was launched October 4, 2019 at the Karalee Shopping Village, Queensland, Australia.
