I’m new to this. What’s a LibraryBox?
LibraryBoxes are inexpensive wireless devices designed to provide stable, simple access to preloaded text and multimedia files. Anyone with a wi-fi enabled device can access LibraryBox and discover free public-domain content, community alerts, or anything else you can imagine. This open-source project has massive ramifications for small and rural libraries, or anyone working with the public in areas lacking reliable Internet access.
What if I have problems connecting or other questions?
