CORAL GABLES, FL – JULY 28: Dr. Seuss’ never-before-published book, “What Pet Should I Get?” is seen on display on the day it is released for sale at the Books and Books store on July 28, 2015 in Coral Gables, United States. The manuscript by the author Theodor Geisel is reported to have been written in the 1950s or 1960s and stashed away in his office until his widow found it in 2013. (Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images)
Since so many things are closed because of the coronavirus, a school librarian in Virginia is using a drone to deliver books to kids who don't have many activities to keep them busy. Kelly Passek, who works for the Montgomery County Public Schools, said that when remote learning began in the school district due to the coronavirus, it became difficult for her to make connections with students. But then she came up with the idea of delivering books to fulfill library requests using Wing, a drone service from Google's parent company Alphabet that her family often uses. Students can request to take out books using an online form.
