Halton Hills Public Library's (HHPL) Georgetown branch is now home to of one of Canada’s first short story dispensers.
Created by French publishing house Short Édition, the unique stand-alone kiosk delivers on-the-go stories while breathing new life into the art of storytelling, says the library team.
Patrons and visitors can choose from three categories - Local, Worldwide or For Kids - and with the push of a button, the machine will dispense a paper scroll with a randomly chosen short story, poem or comic for free.
