Hi Lisa,


I just saw on article on a vending machine in school this month:


https://www.sciencealert.com/this-school-installed-a-book-vending-machine-to-promote-literacy-and-kids-are-eating-it-up​ 


Someone at that school might be able to provide more information.


It sounds like a neat idea!


Best,

Ava

Good afternoon, 

The Principal at my school is interested in purchasing a Book Vending Machine for our 7-8 middle school. It would be stocked with books and students would be able to earn tokens that can then be used to choose a book.  

Does anyone have anything like this in place or see this in action? 

Curious about logistics and student interest.

He is specifically looking at one by Global Vending Group but if you know of other options, I'd like to hear about those as well. 

Thanks!

-Lisa
