Hi Lucia, I believe the box will stay with the community for about 6 months, and then be moved... However, they'll get to keep the resources as they've been curated especially for that community.

Q: "Have you considered using crowd sourcing or Lotterywest funding in order to buy more boxes?
A: The cost of the box is only a small part of the commitment - staff are needed to support the library and support the community.

At the moment, it's the kids that are the biggest users of the Ideas Box - however adult engagement is likely to increase as Internet services improve.

Box comes with its own LMS = however it was quickly realised that 'loaning' in the traditional sense wouldn't work - Clients don't carry ID. The Community quickly vetoed the idea in any case - they wanted all the resources available to anyone visiting the library. Didn't want to lose access to things due to "deferred responsibility" (I gave it to someone else to return).

For SLWA, it wasn't just about procuring a box, it was about making sure that it was filled with the kinds of resources that would engage the local community. Books, games, apps and other resources were specifically targeted for the community.
"When we think about what to implement in the community, there's no such thing as a 'universal model'. - Tui.

The most important thing for the library is to protect the "books". Borrowing rules were created - "Books must be returned in the same emotional and physical state as they were found."

It can be emotional - for both the "books" and the "borrowers" but the response has been overwhelmingly positive. The "books" though reporting that they were nervous at first, really enjoyed the process. Readers are encouraged to ask questions. Such a great way to connect people.

So much interest in this initiative! Murdoch has run the living libraries three times so far:
1st event: 13 "books"
2nd event: 20 "books"
3rd event: 5 "books" - ran at a smaller campus

As Information Professionals we need to get out there and make sure that people know that they're looking at reputable information on the Internet. Look at the impact of "fake news" on the US Election!

Paraphrasing Anne: The Big Message is that (librarians) are connected to a lot of industries. As a profession - as information professionals - we need to get out there and look for opportunities to say - "Hey - we're great!"

Do academic libraries have an obligation to provide some types of resources in print, acknowledging that our potential client base is much larger than our staff and students?
With the closure of public libraries like the Supreme Court, perhaps?

Unrepresented litigants have lost access to the Supreme Court of WA Library and with its closure - their most valuable sources of information. Where Can we direct them? The Harvard Kennedy School Library have created a "Think Tank Search" - which works in the same way as Google - but only searches reputable sources: http://guides.library.harvard.edu/hks/think_tank_search

A Living Library is like any other Library, except that the books are people with stories to share.
