What is a Library Outpost?
Our Library Outpost will be an easy-to-use, 24-hour, seven-day-a-week automated library vending hub. The first Library Outpost will open outside the Pacifica Sanchez Library, expanding access to library materials and inspiring community engagement with a gathering space to enjoy the outdoors.
It will offer a curated collection of over 300 books and media. The lending machine will allow community members to browse, select items and return materials. The Outpost also includes sustainable furniture allowing patrons a place to read and connect, have lunch or access free WiFi. Think of the Outpost as an extension of the library, available anytime.
I ❤️ the library outpost! One of our peers wrote about a library book kiosk/vending machine at an academic library for her Innovation Roadmap. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Thank you for sharing this @michael. Pacifica is in my backyard, and I will definitely go check it out.
@natalie @libbylibbylibby thanks for checking it out. Libby – if you do visit the outpost and class is still in session let us know how it is.
