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
Science Today is an Australian television series which aired in 1958 on ABC. It was an educational series for schools, with subjects including the magnifying glass and microscope, the weather bureau, animal life found at the seashore, among others. It aired at 3:30PM on Wednesdays in Melbourne, and aired live. At least some of the episodes were also shown in Sydney (presumably via kinescopes). Produced by ABC's Melbourne station, it was produced in the Rippon Lea studios, and expected to reach 1600 children in 40 schools. However, in Melbourne the episodes were also shown in the evening on Thursdays (presumably via kinescope recordings), thus giving the series a much wider potential audience. TV listings show these evening broadcasts at 7:30PM, aired against imported series Passport to Danger on HSV-7 and The Perry Como Show on GTV-9. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
