Jack Lowe Sr. Elementary School has become the latest Dallas Independent School District school to receive a book vending machine, according to a Dallas ISD News report. The book vending machine is the product of a partnership between the Dallas Education Foundation, the Rotary Club of Park Cities and Atmos Energy.
The machine, filled with brand new books, aims to foster a love of reading among students. «Education is one of the many initiatives in Rotary and you can’t find a better population to support than elementary school children,» Philip Bankhead from Park Cities Rotary told the news outlet. «By encouraging students to read and help them fall in love with books, they will become good citizens and good students.»
The Dallas Education Foundation hopes to install book vending machines in every elementary school in the district, promoting home libraries and a lifelong love of reading.
