Penn State University Libraries has entered into an innovative agreement with French company Short Edition to bring its first short story dispensers to any university worldwide. Soon, the dispensers will deliver original Penn State student, faculty and staff writing into the hands of the public and encourage dialogue between readers and authors. Four dispensers have been installed in Penn State library locations on the University Park campus. The fifth is in Schlow Centre Region Library in downtown State College, the latest initiative of an increasing partnership between the neighboring libraries.
