The LibraryBox Project is an open source initiative that allows anyone to build and deploy their own mini-libraries called LibraryBoxes. A LibraryBox is a cheap, portable device that provides open access to educational resources via a wireless network. It connects to any WiFi device and allows users to browse and download files. The LibraryBox has been implemented in over 16 US states and 12 countries across 5 continents, with hundreds of boxes distributing thousands of files. Version 2.0 of the LibraryBox aims to improve the installation process and user experience with updates like automatic statistics, easier setup, and mobile responsiveness.
