Description
What is the Media Box? Susan goes to APL to find out.
A
A
I
guess
today
is
Alyssa
dornoch
resource
services,
manager,
themes,
Public,
Library,
Alyssa.
Welcome
to
the
show,
thank
you
for
having
me
on.
Well,
it's
been
a
while
since
I
we've
stopped
back
here
at
the
library
and
I,
don't
know
that
you've
ever
been
a
guest
on
our
show.
So
tell
me
a
little
bit
about
what
it
is
you
do.
I
am.
B
The
resource
services
manager
here,
which
is
a
big
title
that
says
that
we
are
in
my
department,
responsible
for
ordering
and
getting
everything
that
you
see
at
the
library
it
all
comes
through
us,
and
so
we
kind
of
start
it
and
push
it
out
and
you
guys
get
to
enjoy
the
final
product.
It's
sort
of
like.
B
Our
newest
one
that
we've
been
promoting
is
our
media
box.
It's
a
vending
machine
for
DVDs,
music
and
video
games
and
blu
ray
we've,
just
added.
So
how
long
can
you
check
those
items
out,
for
we
just
increased
the
number
of
items
that
you
can
check
out?
You
can
have
three
dvds
or
blu-rays
out
at
once
for
a
week.
B
You
can
have
up
to
three
video
games
out
for
three
weeks
and
you
can
have
up
to
three
music
CDs
out
for
three
weeks
as
well,
so
you
can
have
nine
items
out
of
there
and
depending
on
if
for
video
games
or
music,
you
get
those
for
three
weeks
and
movies.
You
get
time
to
watch
them
and
return
them
and
grab
something
else
to
go
so.
A
B
Does
and
it's
free,
that's
the
best
part
you
come
and
you
look
online.
You
can
do
that
at
home.
You
can
come
here
and
use
our
computer
and
get
on
the
media
box
catalog.
You
just
pick
out
the
movies
or
the
music
or
the
video
game
that
you
want.
You
click
reserve
and
walk
through
the
steps
there
puts
it
on
hold,
and
you
come
up
to
the
media
box
here
and
scan
your
library
card
and
you're
good
to
go.
Just
follow
the
instructions
on
the
screen.
So
we.
A
Opened
this
new
library,
I
think
it
was
September
of
last
year
and
hasn't
even
been
a
year
here
in
this
location,
but
it's
just
already
so
great
all
the
new
services
that
you
can
get
if
you've
never
been
to
the
library.
Obviously
I
encourage
people
to
go.
The
media
box
is
just
one
of
the
great
things
that
you
have
here.
We've
got
a
lot.
B
Of
new
fantastic
features
here,
we've
got,
you
know
expanded
meeting
space.
We've
got
that
great
auditorium
that
people
got
to
see
this
weekend
with
the
book
sale
that
we
just
had.
We've
got
meeting
space
so
they
can
reserve
online
and
there's
just
a
lot
of
you
know:
cozy
little
corners
and
room
and
space
to
spread
out,
and
it
doesn't
feel
like
there's
anyone
else
here.
You
can
just
kind
of
enjoy
your
own
little
corner
of
the
library.
The.
B
A
B
It
was
so
nice
to
have
the
books
here
and
he
just
wheeled
them
out
where
they'd
been
in
storage
and
wheel
him
up
the
ramp
to
the
auditorium
and
put
them
on
the
tables
that
even
the
tables
you
know
we're
so
thoughtfully,
designed
that
they've
got
wheels
on
them,
that
we
can
just
slide
them
around
and
the
ones
that
are
in
the
auditorium
or
just
light
and
handy
to
move
and
yeah.
We
had
a
terrific
turnout.
I
know.
B
Is
one
of
the
highlights
that
we've
had
here
when
you
dropped
your
books
off
in
the
book?
Drab
they're
checked
in
pretty
much
by
the
time
you
get
here,
it's
all
automatic,
it's
a
big
conveyor
belt
that
you
know
check
some
in
it
sorts
some
puts
them
in
the
right
bins
and,
like
I,
said
by
the
time
you're
here,
your
books
are.
A
In
and
I
know,
technology
has
really
changed
a
lot
of
the
way
that
media
services
are
provided
to
people.
In
addition
to
the
to
the
media
box,
which
is
sort
of
one
of
those
new
technological
marvels.
Are
there
other
ways
you
can
think
of
that?
Well,
I,
even
the
check
out
the
the
checkout
kiosks
are
so
efficient.
The.
A
B
B
B
Anything
that
we
get
for
the
regular
collection
that
you
are
typically
no
number
like
12
out
of
200
on
for
DVD
holds.
We
have
a
few
copies
that
we
put
in
the
media
box.
So
if
you
go
to
that
media
box
catalog-
and
you
happen
to
see
that
title
in
that
day,
you
can
just
click
on
that
one
and
enter
your
information
and
it
will
be
held
just
for
you
for
that
day
until
nine
o'clock
at
night.
So
it's.
A
B
A
B
A
B
Yeah,
it's
been
really
fun
to
have
and
we've
had
a
lot
of.
You
know
positive
feedback
from
it.
The
video
games
are
in
neat
addition
to
the
collection,
because
you
know
before
we
had
that
there
wasn't
a
lot
of
places
that
we
could
put
them,
and
you
know
right
there.
It
leaves
them
all
convenient
close
together,
so
you
can
just
come
and
check
them
out.
I
would
assume
that
this
is
really
popular
with
all
ages.
It
is
you
know:
we've
had
everyone
from
kids
to
adults
and
anything
in
between
so.
A
B
Was
impressed
with
the
staffs
ability
to
just
you
know,
have
a
vision
of
what
it
will
be
like
and
just
you
know
how
they
were
able
to
continue
offering
the
services
that
we
offer.
It
was
just
amazing
that
they
were
able
to.
You
know
just
do
as
much
as
we
did
and
still
plan
for
the
move
and
get
everything
packed
and
moved,
and
you
know
we
carried
on
business
as
usual
until
we
close
shop
and
moved
out
so
that.
A
B
A
Responding
to
your
customer
needs,
the
media
box
is
just
one
great
example
of
all
the
improvements
unless
I
know
you're
busy.
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
on
my
show.
Thank
you.
