New York Public Library Shares Books Using Instagram Stories

Libraries often use technology in interesting ways, like renting out eBooks for example. The New York Public Library is taking this a step further with Instagram. According to The Wall Street Journal, the library is allowing users to view selections of certain books through Instagram Stories. It's very clever. The book appears in the library's highlights area. The book even has a dedicated space to place your thumb to keep the same image on the screen. Unfortunately, there's no way to save your progress. In other words, to read the whole selection, you'll have to do it in one go. Right now, it's part one of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Part two will be available tomorrow.
