SAINT LOUIS, Mo. — If you've ever gone to the airport and forgot to pack a book, there is a new service that could make your next vacation more interesting.
The St. Louis County Library is launching a new service that will give people immediate access to thousands of e-books and audiobooks by scanning a QR code. And the coolest part? You don't even need a library card. No more waiting weeks for the more popular books, either.
The ePop Up Library comes together in partnership with several agencies across the county -- from government offices, select Schnucks stores, some Metro Transit stations, St. Louis Lambert International Airport and throughout the Bi-State.
Users will be able to scan a QR code and check out a book for a week.
The official announcement and details will come later Thursday.
