A smaller, more portable table-top version of the iconic Short Story Dispenser, the Short Story Cube is designed for school and library engagement. It can be used to promote reading in classrooms, or can be shared between library branches. Languages, reading level, themes… the programming possibilities from our collections are infinite!
