Diversity and Inclusion: Robotic Librarians Help Autistic Patrons

Bibliobot. That is the name given to the robotic librarian that was created in Longmont, Colorado, by the Longmont Library Innovation Team. The Innovation Team worked on a low-cost robotics program to create Bibliobot. Longmont (CO) Public Library (LPL) partnered with Robauto, a Boulder-based robotics company, and Jalali Hartman, the innovator and creator of Bibliobot, which is a library robot prototype created to serve children with autism.
