After the success of book vending machine programs at Scotland Park Elementary and Booker T. Washington Elementary, the Wichita Falls Independent School District is working to bring the machines to all 14 elementary schools in the district.
Students earn tokens through good behavior and by demonstrating leadership qualities, which they can then use to select a book to take home and keep, with the goal of students creating their own book collection.

Brilliant.
I don’t mind these but as a school librarian I feel like these need to be supplemental to a well funded and staffed school library.
I’ve seen so many schools invest in these machines as some sorta literacy push and not have a strong library program.
Like places are so much more willing to invest in a fad than proven programs that work
