I think you can rent helium tanks from some places.  Then they will "float."  If you have a store like Party City, I think you can actually buy a small one for about $45.00.

Subject: [SERIALST] Question about new issue of McSweeney's
 
Hello!

Earlier this month, we received the latest issue (53) of McSweeney's. The issue arrived with 8 "inflatable story" balloons...

https://store.mcsweeneys.net/products/mcsweeney-s-issue-53

We are a bit stumped as to what to do with the balloons! We are looking for suggestions that others might have.

We thought about keeping the balloons at our Circ Desk. You can't read them without blowing them up, and that brings in the germ factor.

Another option might be to blow up the balloons, and attempt to scan them? Photograph them? That way the stories would at least be in a readable format.

Thanks,

Ken
