WILKINSON PUBLIC LIBRARY EXPRESS
For those in Mountain Village, you now have access to books and DVDs at your fingertips,
literally.
The Wilkinson Public Library expanded into Mountain Village, and offers a small remote library branch in the form of a vending machine.
Named Wilkinson Public Library Express, the machine is stocked with award-winning films on DVD and best-selling hardback books. The vending machine collection rotates regularly between 32
books and 140 DVDs and is available to all library cardholders. A
depository is located adjacent to the vending machine where you can
return items checked out from either the vending machine or the library
itself.

MAKING IT POSSIBLE
The installation of the vending machine was a team effort made possible by the support of several community organizations.
- Wilkinson Public Library contracted to have the machine built and manufactured and the drop box fabricated.
- We (Mountain Village) provide the machine's power and Internet connection.
- Jointly, the Telluride Mountain Village Owners Association and The Market at Mountain Village donated the space for the
machine and drop box.
