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!
When combined with the Short Story Portal (a connected reading and writing submission platform), teachers & librarians are able to instantly print stories written by kids & patrons, allowing everyone to return home with their story.

And it’s out there! We’re so pleased to share with you Short Circuit #05. Our latest collection of poetry, stories, and children’s works, now circulating around the world via our Short Story Dispensers. In this issue, you’ll find bitter honesty and bare vulnerability; love and courage; connection and isolation. We hope you enjoy these tales as much as we do.

This winter, to highlight local voices and curate local content specially made for their Short Story Dispensers, the San Jose Public Library organised a pretty special short fiction and comic contest. Open to authors of all ages (the youngest was just 3, the oldest 77), this project was a blooming success: between the short story contest and the comic making contest, almost 150 works were submitted!
Let’s hope this will be the first of many successful contests for the San Jose Public Library!
