Drones

[Thomas Edelblute]

If you are going to do that, why not a drone to retrieve a book from the closed stacks area?

Along the same lines, you could dispatch the drones to show patrons where a given collection is (or even the exact location of a book).

I hate to be a killjoy, but I think that you could do a pretty good job of that with a camera, or even a a phone or tablet.

A GoPro with a chest strap would be perfect, unless, of course, the ability to levitate is needed to access some of your resources. In that case, of course, you would probably already have owls.

Off the cuff I can think of promotion uses such as banners with the library website and for new students and others to see the library as a cool place that is fun and hi-tech.   Best.
