<p>Schools and libraries have been closed for months, but some kids aren’t going to get away with playing video games all summer. Kelly Passek &#8212; a middle school librarian in Montgomery County, Virginia &#8212; is <a href="https://medium.com/wing-aviation/wing-delivers-library-books-to-students-in-virginia-b2cd0ad86551" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">sending out summer reading</a> via drones. After using the <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019-10-18-alphabet-wing-drone-deliveries-us-virginia.html">quadcopters from Wing</a> to get some home essentials, she realized that she could use the service to literally drop some knowledge on local students.</p>

<p>Passek does have to resort to some manual labor to get books to kids, though. She takes requests via a Google Form, then packs up the books and drops them off at Wing’s facility. Wing’s drones can carry payloads of up to three pounds, so paperbacks shouldn’t be an issue, but hefty tomes may not be an option. Eligible students in the Montgomery County public school system can request over 150,000 books from the library, and the airborne delivery is free of charge.</p>
