The machines are similar to Red Box movie rental machines. One of the machines has DVDs in it, and the other has best selling books.
Plus, it would be really easy to eventually tailor the collection of each machine to meet the special needs and wants of the people that use it most. They could follow the borrowing trends of each location and cater to them with little hassle. In a big library, it's hard to tailor the selection that specifically.
And it might be a good way to occasionally expose people to a good book they might not necessarily have checked out or bought otherwise. Like with redbox, I often give movies a chance that I might not have if I'd had more to choose from. The limited selection has unearthed some cool stuff I'd have never added to my netflix cue on my own or picked up in a video store.
They need a drop box thing attached to them so that you can return books there,too.
