WILLIAMSVILLE, N.Y. — One school in Williamsville is offering a creative way for kids to pick out books. The Inchy Bookworm Vending Machine was unveiled on Monday at St. Gregory the Great elementary school.
Students are able to use tokens awarded from good behavior and select a book of their choice to keep from the vending machine.
St. Gregory is believed to be the first private school in Western New York to use a book vending machine.
"It's a great tool to have for positive behavior supports to now we can give them something they're clearly looking forward to," St. Gregory the Great elementary school principal Molly White said. "When we unveiled it to our students they were very excited."
The book vending machine comes along with the newly remodeled library at the school. It's part of a $60,000 fundraiser to enhance student learning.
