@Connie: That’s great – what do patrons think about it? And did you make a special place for it in the parking lot, or just added it to an existing spot?

My library (Minnesota) just got one, too! A county initiative, I think. And yesterday I saw it being used for the first time. Chevy Volt, user was probably at the Twins tgame.

@Kathy: thanks Kathy – that’s actually a very good idea. If @Ken is right that it takes three hours to charge, they’ll have plenty of time to come inside – or, maybe we’ll get the Redbox after all, to give people something to do outside – and maybe even a cafe.

I still think my idea to have a RedBox at the library was a good idea ! Charging station is cool but much less of a fit. Cars will need a minimum of 3 hours to get a useful charge.

I think this is great! Of course, drivers will need something to do while they are charging their cars. Browsing through a library’s collection seems like a perfect way to spend the time.
