In an effort to make reading more accessible, the downtown public library has launched a 24/7 book vending machine. Located outside the library, the machine allows residents to borrow and return books at any time, even when the building is closed. The initiative is part of a broader push to modernize library services and promote literacy. Library director Sarah Kim said, “This is about meeting people where they are—day or night.” The vending machine holds up to 300 titles, including popular fiction, children’s books, and non-fiction. Users can scan their library cards to check out books and return them just as easily. Early feedback from the community has been overwhelmingly positive. If successful, similar machines may be rolled out in other parts of the city later this year.
