Last week, the Libraries unveiled our very first Short \u00c9dition short story dispenser in the Student Center. With just the push of a button, the dispenser prints a free short story or poem just for you. <\/span><\/p>\n

Short \u00c9dition<\/b><\/a> is a French publishing house of short literature: poetry, short stories, and flash fiction. In addition to their online platform, they publish fiction around the world via their Short Story Dispensers for the public to enjoy a serendipitous literary experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our dispenser features a \u201cLocal Fiction\u201d button, which prints out a story written by a member of Temple community or the Philadelphia writing community. The \u201cInternational Fiction\u201d button dispenses stories from around the world. <\/span><\/p>\n
