  The Den Bosch public library already has a similar service called the BiEBbox: http://www.bibliotheekdenbosch.nl/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=56&Itemid=54 (second last entry on the page).

  This is a locker system which is used to distribute reserved materials in public places like schools or community centers.
