In preparation for moving to a new library building and separate storage space, the National Library of the Netherlands is embarking on a series of experiments to digitally engage with their collection. In one particular experiment, Karin Vingerhoets, Curator of the Children's Books Collection, and Martijn Kleppe, Head of the Research Department, joined forces to create a virtual reality experience of four children's pop-up books. 

In this episode, Karin and Martijn share why libraries are a bit behind in the VR space; how they chose VR; and  the relatively low cost of their investment, which resulted in numerous lessons for their library moving forward.

Plus, commentary by Microsoft's Catherine Devine.
