Baile Mhuilinn
The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Baile Mhuilinn is a Scottish Gaelic television series for children. The first series was broadcast in 1998. Baile Mhuilinn features comedian and entertainer Tormod MacGill-Eain as the Miller, his pantomime horse Eachann, and alternating characters played by Màiri NicAonghais and Dàibhidh Walker. The format is standard: a dialogue in the mill includes songs sung by Eachann, and the company then move to a lounge where the miller reads a story. Together with the radio series Fiream Faram, broadcast the same year, Baile Mhuilinn was the first specially devised education series aimed at children in the early stages of immersion-phase language-learning. The spread of Gaelic medium education in Scotland and also Gaelic pre-school provision led to many children attending immersion programmes even though Gaelic was not used in their homes. Baile Mhuilinn pitches its language at the needs of this group. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
