Margie’s Books contributed to the Book Vending Machine project at Newport Elementary School in Carteret County, NC. To help inspire students to read, Emily Golightly, the media coordinator and librarian, wrote grants to purchase the vending machine. Students are able to select a free book of their choice. What an exciting way to inspire students to read and encourage them to make selections based on their interests. Newport Elementary School is a Title I school with 100% of students receiving free breakfast and lunch. Many of the students at the school do not own books of their own, unless given to them by the school. Congratulations to Emily, the school, and the students!
