Instagram animated stories from NYPL

Libraries are getting so creative in applying technology to library services, especially when reaching out to engage with reluctant readers. How to fit literature into an active modern day with so many distractions?

New York Public Library has teamed up with an ad agency to created animated classic novels on Instagram. Try it- it's really fun!

Other libraries are installing short story vending machines

And many libraries have enabled connections with Alexa devices so people can simply say, "Alexa, what's happening at the library today? (I've asked Brandi to make this happen here!)

Have you noticed an example of creative library technology reaching the masses? Email me and I'll add it to our blog.
