Columbia River Elementary School in Pasco, Washington has installed a book vending machine, funded by a donation from Corey Shane of Shane Family Realty and Alex Larmey of Evol Octopus Jiu-Jitsu Academy, according to an Apple Valley News Now report.
The vending machine, which will be celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Dec. 2 at 11 a.m., will offer a diverse collection of books in both English and Spanish. Students will earn tokens for the machine by achieving reading goals, such as advancing a reading level or mastering a challenging task.
“The book vending machine is an exciting tool to encourage and celebrate reading success,” Amanda Wilson, principal of Columbia River Elementary School, told the news outlet. “It provides students with a tangible reward for their efforts and achievements in reading, reinforcing the importance of literacy in a fun and engaging way.”
