THERE is a new way to experience stories from the library.
Kingston Libraries has purchased and installed two “short story dispenser” machines. The dispensers print free 150 word, 300 word, and 1,000 word original short stories for library visitors.
The short story dispensers have been based at Parkdale and Dingley Village libraries. From 25 May one will move to the newly reopened Highett Library.
The mayor Steve Staikos said “everyone loves reading, but if you’re like me there’s not a lot of time to sit down and read a novel, now thanks to our new short story dispensers we can read a short story while we’re on the go.”
