Library Frequency Tuner
Library Frequency Tuner is an interactive device that allows listeners to tune to any Dewey Decimal ‘frequency’ between 000–999 and hear books on that subject from the library. The device allows listeners to discover a library collection and explore thousands of books beyond the constraints of physical browsing.
