Heading back into the office or just taking a ride on BART? Take a break from scrolling and get in a good (and short!) read during your commute. Several short story dispensers in select east bay stations have been installed to add some joy into commuting. The dispensers provide one, three, or five minute stories and bonus: they are touchless and printed on recycled paper! This idea was inspired by the short story dispenser in San Francisco’s North Beach Cafe Zoetrope.
