A school in Southport has unveiled a brand new BOOK vending machine.
Farnborough Road Junior School, in Birkdale, has provided the imaginative new facility to reward pupils for their excellent reading.
It is the only school in the region to have one.
Headteacher Mr Adrian Antell said: “We are delighted to announce the arrival of the FRJS ‘Book Factor’ Vending Machine.
“We revealed the machine via video in school this afternoon.
“As a reward for regular reading each week, children will be entered into a draw where two winners will be picked at random from each year group.
“Those lucky children will be able to select a book from the vending machine that they will be able to keep forever. We have a wonderful selection of titles that will appeal to everyone.
“We also have ‘Golden Tickets’ in a small number of the books. A Golden Ticket will mean that the winner either gets a SECOND token for a book from the machine or a book voucher.
“We are the only school to have a machine like this in the region.
“To win, all you have to do is READ, READ, READ!”
