Garrett Giles Richard Kane Elementary in Bartlesville received a $3,000 grant from the Walmart Distribution Center to purchase a Bookworm Vending Machine. The Bookworm Vending Machine holds approximately 200 to 300 books and operates by a custom coin mechanism designed for tokens. Tokens are earned by students participating in their school's rewards program and grade-level appropriate books are selected and vended by the students. Casey's General Store on Adams Boulevard also gave Richard Kane a $250 grant to purchase books for the machine. Photo courtesy: Bartlesville Public Schools
