ABOUT
When’s the last time you visited a library? Browsed the stacks…Smelled the pages?
The Hunt Library bookBot, a robotic book delivery system, can store up to two million items in a climate-controlled environment and deliver any of them within five minutes of a click in the online catalog. Requiring one-ninth the space of conventional shelving, the bookBot helps transform this 21st-century library from a storage facility into a rich environment of learning and collaborative spaces.
However, not everyone is pleased. As more and more print materials are retired from the open shelves of Hunt Library and stored in bins only accessible by the bookBot, library visitors can no longer experience the simple joys of getting lost amidst the shelves, holding a book in their hands, or the rare joy of stumbling upon an undiscovered favorite.
These animated set of illustrations are sourced from materials now retired from Hunt Library’s open shelves to the bookBot; originally discovered the old-fashioned way.
