books on-demand

One of my dreams has come true. Someone invented a book vending machine. A vending machine. For books. Put in a coin, get a book in return. A book vending machine. I’m figuratively dying.

The vending machine is a partnership with Global Vending and a school district in Buffalo, NY. A second district from Florida has also installed one in an elementary school there as well. The machines are stocked with books purchased and donated and can be “bought” with coins earned through their hard work, good behavior, etc.

All that needs to be said is that this is fucking awesome and I wish my school had one.
