‘Library to Go’: Book vending machine in Palm Beach

While similar items have been available in some schools the past few years, this is the first time a Book Vending Machine, from the Palm Beach County Library System, has been Introduced for public availability. It’s called Library to Go, the latest community resource for library card members to access materials off site.

Library to Go was unveiled recently at the Robert Weisman Governmental Center lobby at 301 N. Olive Ave., in West Palm Beach.

Similar to a vending machine, PBC Library cardholders can now borrow new and popular books from this device. In addition, members can return any library materials to the Library to Go cabinet using their library card.
