Hands-On Kids' Museums Make Learning Fun
December 29, 2008 - 7:22pm — Bibliofuture
There was a story on NPR about hands-on children's museums and how they use technology. The whole piece was interesting but there was a mention how some children's museums are teaming with libraries.
A public library kiosk in Dinosphere lets kids from anywhere in Indiana check out library books and send them back through the state's interlibrary loan system.

Not just a kiosk
There is an entire library branch housed in the Indianapolis Children's Museum. It is a part of the Indianapolis-Marion County Public Library system and is one of their busiest branches.
