Fondulac District Library has collaborated with the Harvard Library Innovation Lab (Yes, that Harvard!) and is now offering our patrons an AWESOME BOX!
What’s an AWESOME BOX? It’s an alternate return box for library items that our community finds particularly entertaining, helpful, or eye-opening. Pretty much, anything you think is awesome! It’s a lot of fun to share your favorites and see what others think is awesome, too.
Returning items to an Awesome Box requires no extra work. To “awesome” an item, simply put it in the Awesome Box at the book drops near the checkout desk. Kids, teens, and adults can all easily share what they like with both the library and the rest of the community. (No worries…no personal information is shared.)
After library staff enters your awesome item into our Awesome Box software, the item is automatically posted to our webpage and lets everyone know that someone thought it was awesome. The latest 5 titles are shown right on our home page at fondulaclibrary.org. There’s also a linked Awesome Box page that shows everything that was awesomed at FDL, along with the most awesomed items.
Sorry. Even though they can be entertaining, helpful, and eye-opening, you may not put librarians in the Awesome Box. 🙂
