About
Do you have the need to read? Can't make up your mind on what your next book binge will be? Get an instant fix with the HHPLs Short Story Dispenser, the first of it's kind in Canada!
Choose from three categories (Local, Worldwide or For Kids) and with the push of a button, the machine will dispense a paper scroll (printed on recyclable, FSC certified, sustainably sourced paper) with a randomly chosen short story, poem or comic for free. Created by French publishing house Short Édition, the unique stand-alone kiosk delivers on-the-go stories while breathing new life into the art of storytelling.
Organizer
Halton Hills Public Library
We have proudly served our community for more than a century. The Georgetown Public Library was founded in 1895. Three years later, the Acton Public Library opened its doors. The two libraries operated separately until 1974 when they merged and became the Halton Hills Public Library.
