The recent Poem Booth tour in Flevoland leveraged the power of artificial intelligence to bring the art of poetry to the community. At The New Library in Almere City, FlevoMeer Lelystad, and various collaborating schools, visitors had the opportunity to have a personalized poem generated simply by pressing a red button. The reactions ranged from astonishment at the technical capabilities to appreciation for the surprisingly diverse poems, from somber to cheerful, depending on the interaction and appearance of the user.

I find it beautiful, that you can create a poem based on how you look. - user Poem Booth in Almere

This project, supported by the Innovation Team Flevoland, beautifully illustrates how libraries prioritize innovation by directly engaging visitors at this fascinating intersection of technology and creativity. The tour highlights the importance of accessible technological education and offers a glimpse into the future possibilities of AI in everyday interactions.
