Boston Launches Digital Pop-Up Libraries at Bus Stops.

Boston has launched a pilot program called "Browse, Borrow, Board" that allows riders to access digital content from audiobooks to newspapers at some bus stops across the city through QR code links. The program doesn't require an app or a library card. The QR codes can be found on sidewalks at 20 bus stops and on bus paths owned by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority throughout the city. The program was launched after the city conducted a survey about public transit last year and found that bus riders expressed high interest in accessing the Boston Public Library digitally on commutes.
