Located in the museum’s entryway, it provides free access to hundreds of short stories or poems at the touch of a button. The dispenser prints the stories on eco-friendly paper so visitors can take their new reading material home as a keepsake of their visit. The Short Story Edition Dispenser is a gift of Joshua and Lisa Bernstein. Credit: Les Talusan.”

Already popular in 300 cities across Europe and the U.S., It’s DC’s first and allows visitors to print out a story or poem to take home with them. It was unveiled Saturday and is now available at the museum which is free and open to the public.”
