Bookworm Vending Machine

No Candy or Soda in This School Dispenser!

Edna Louise Spear Elementary School unveiled one of the first book vending machines in a Suffolk County elementary school at a ribbon cutting ceremony on Tuesday, February 11th, 2020.

"Inchy the Bookworm" Tokens are awarded to students for their excellent attitude, behavior, and work ethic in the library and in the classroom. Intended to encourage and promote literacy for grades PreK-5, tokens are also given to students who challenge themselves by selecting and mastering increasingly difficult reading levels and genres.
