Northside Elementary unveils book vending machine after a year-long delay
St. James Plaindealer
Last week, Northside Elementary unveiled its new book vending machine, becoming just the second school in the state of Minnesota to feature a vending machine guided towards reading.
The book vending machine was originally supposed to be revealed last year, but due to a shipping error and the oncoming COVID-19 pandemic, the plans were postponed.
"As we were talking about I Love To Read Month last year in February, John Becker sent me an article from KELOLAND in Sioux Falls and there was a school that had just unveiled a book vending machine," said Northside Principal Liam Dawson. "And so we brought that up to our leadership team at first and then to my PAC committee."
