Ithra - Interactive Book Kiosk
I had the pleasure of working on the team responsible for designing the MVP of Ithra's Library, which features a carefully curated selection of books. As one of the largest public libraries in Saudi Arabia, it serves as a sanctuary for book lovers, learners, and knowledge seekers alike.
The project entailed developing an MVP for a pilot program targeted at young readers, with a specific focus on 10 hand-picked books to be featured in the library in order to promote reading. The kiosk would serve as a gateway, initially attracting users with a prominent digital display of the selected books, then providing relevant information on each book's location in the library. Future plans involve scaling the program to web and mobile app platforms.
Business Problem
The current state of Ithra Library has focused mainly on internal categorization and helping users find books online or within their local data base.
What existing products/services fail to address is users are seeking recommendation while within the library.
Our initial focus will be Internal library users.
We’ll know we are successful when we see members of the library interacting with the various kiosk throughout the library and book recommendations see an increase in check out rate.
