![Vending machine for mystery novels from the city library in Cologne. Big red box with computer screen and door with window to get book.](https://laureldecher.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/img_5980krimiautomat_lr-e1454968039111.jpg?w=660)
On a recent trip to Cologne, I was surprised by this machine in the Neumarkt underground station. It lets library patrons check out and return mysteries and thrillers on their daily commute, 24 hours a day.
You gotta love librarians. They’re always thinking up some new way to share books.
