Washington schools introduce book vending machines to reward and encourage student reading.

Two elementary schools in Washington state have installed book vending machines to boost student reading enthusiasm. At Wiley Elementary in Richland, students earn PBI points for demonstrating core values, which can be traded for golden tokens to get a book. Columbia River Elementary in Pasco uses a similar machine where students earn tokens for reaching reading milestones. Both aim to put books in every student's hands, with donations accepted for additional stock.
