Book vending machines give schools a fresh way to promote literacy and reward positive behavior. Most machines run on a similar ecosystem from school to school – students’ positive actions earn them tokens, which they can plunk into the dispenser to “buy” a book.
That doesn’t mean all book machines are one and the same.
Inchy’s Bookworm Vending Machine is the original and most recognizable of the bunch, but there’s more to its potential than you might realize. You may know how Inchy works, but there are many features that make this custom book vending machine stand out.
Value-Adding Bookworm Vending Machine Features – For Kids AND Schools!
Here are five surprises that make our book vending machines for schools truly special.
1. Smart Token Recognition System
Our advanced token-based system does more than just accept coins. The specially designed gold tokens can be used to reinforce your school's comprehensive reward system. Tokens are a students’ tangible reminder of a job well done.
As experienced by Amanda Hunt, a middle school librarian, these tokens are strong motivational tools for many achievements:
- Academic excellence
- Improved attendance
- Positive behavior recognition
- Reading milestone achievements
- Special event celebrations
2. Customizable LED Display
A school book dispenser is, in a way, a 3D billboard for reading engagement. The more exciting the display is, the more excited young people will get about books.
The Bookworm vending machine comes equipped with state-of-the-art LED display capabilities that go beyond basic lighting. Schools can:
- Create dynamic book spotlights
- Display motivational messages
- Showcase student achievements
- Highlight reading challenges
- Program seasonal themes
3. Innovative Internal Storage Solution
Vending machines come with perceptions – stuck items and “out of order” signs, to name a few.
Unlike traditional vending machines, Inchy's Bookworm Vending Machine features a sophisticated internal storage system that:
- Maintains books in pristine condition
- Allows for easy inventory management
- Enables quick restocking
- Accommodates various book sizes and formats
Educators are more likely to keep a machine stocked and functional if the work to do so is minimal.
4. Flexible Display Configuration
The machine's versatile display system allows schools to customize their book offerings based on their specific needs. As demonstrated in Amanda's school, you can:
- Separate young adult and middle-grade sections
- Create themed book collections
- Highlight new arrivals
- Feature student-recommended books
- Showcase different reading levels
