What they did
Eleanor Konik gave the agent the library login, stored in a vault that the agent can use without seeing the password. She sends a request like "chess books for a smart 6-year-old", and the agent picks the titles and places the holds on the county website.
How it went
Days later the library notified her that the books were ready for pickup.
Good to know
Ask for the list before the holds are placed if you want to choose the titles.
The prompt
Suggest [number] books about [topic] for [age/profile], available at the [name] library. Show me the title, author and why each one is a good fit. After I approve, place the holds and tell me the pickup deadline.
