We’re thrilled to say that, going in to the ’23-’24 school year, we’ve got three book vending machines in place in the Salida School District. These machines are placed in the elementary, middle, and high schools, and are stocked with books for the students’ fall semesters.
Each school’s staff has a set of tokens for their machine, and will distribute them according to their programming.
We’re so grateful for the support of our community and our business sponsors in helping us raise funds to purchase these machines. Now that the machines are installed, our fundraising efforts will focus on the cost of purchasing books to stock the machines, with the goal of increasing the number of books given away each year.
A big thank you to our volunteers for moving these machines into place and customizing the graphics for them!
