The Poem Booth, a striking installation capable of generating unique poems, made a significant stop in Twente this winter. At both the Hengelo and Oldenzaal libraries, this interactive setup offered visitors the chance to receive a personalized poem at the push of a button, generated by advanced AI with input from poet Maarten Inghels.

The warm reception in Twente highlighted the power of modern technology to make poetry accessible and to strengthen the connection between literature and community. This initiative, part of the Poetry Week, demonstrated how libraries play a crucial role in introducing new technologies that merge culture and innovation.
