Book Vending: An Easy, exciting Way to Promote reading school-wide
Looking for a way to build a reading culture that sticks? A book vending machine from Spirit Box combines literacy and school-wide incentives into one engaging solution.
Whether you're launching a PBIS reward system, promoting independent reading, or giving students equitable access to books they can keep, Spirit Box makes it simple—and exciting!
How Book Vending with Spirit Box Works:
Students earn tokens or digital credits through behavior incentives, academic milestones, or attendance goals—and redeem them for books.
Our machines use a digital dashboard to help you track redemptions and monitor impact. You’ll get the same Spirit Box support schools love—including setup guides, training, and customer service when you need it.
Spirit Box machines arrive wrapped in your school’s mascot, colors, or reading theme—ready to become a focal point in your hallway, library, or media center.
Want students to run the program? Spirit Box is student-led by design. They can manage inventory, restock titles, promote featured reads, and even use reward data to make decisions.
