My New Favorite Vending Machine

When I stumbled upon this treat dispenser I was delightfully surprised.

Since 2021, readers of all ages have been able to access books 24/7 in Encinitas (located by my mother-in-law's dentist).
This self-serve kiosk is making it easier for residents to use San Diego County Library services. The kiosk looks and operates like a vending machine but instead of chips and candy, you can nourish your mind with books, DVDs, and audiobooks.
The 8-foot tall, 13 feet wide, and 5 feet deep machine offers full circulation functionality that one would find at any of the county libraries. With it, visitors can check out and return items and even browse the entire library catalog. So dang cool!



E.B. White said, “A library is a good place to go when you feel unhappy, for there, in a book, you may find encouragement and comfort. A library is a good place to go when you feel bewildered or undecided, for there, in a book, you may have your question answered. Books are good company, in sad times and happy times, for books are people – people who have managed to stay alive by hiding between the covers of a book.” Now, his quote is true 24/7. I love it!
