JANS – On Nov. 20th, the Mississippi Children’s Museum officially unveiled its brand new Inchy’s Bookworm Book Vending Machine. The grand opening and ribbon cutting celebrated a new way to spark a love of reading for kids across the community. The Inchy’s Bookworm Vending Machine was made possible through the generous support of Atmos Energy.
This unique machine is designed to ignite a passion for reading in children by turning literacy into a fun and rewarding experience. Unlike traditional vending machines that offer snacks or toys, Inchy’s Bookworm Vending Machine provides something far more meaningful: books. This machine dispenses brand new books that children can earn through positive behavior and program participation. Museum guests can earn Inchy’s Coins by attending weekly literacy-based programs: ABC Come Play with Me, Rocky’s Book Club, and Read with Me. Each time guests attend one of these programs, they will receive a sticker on their Book Club Card, putting them one step closer to earning an Inchy’s Coin! These special tokens can be used to select a book from the machine, acting as a reward for their dedication and program attendance…
