On Tuesday, Dec. 17, Mr.
Matt McCarty, Creative Services Manager with Kentucky School Boards Association
(KSBA) visited Russellville Independent Schools to speak with Mindy Key,
Community Outreach Coordinator, with Russellville READs in hopes of getting
information regarding the Inchy Bookworm Vending Machines that have been placed
in Stevenson Elementary and Russellville High School. Mr. McCarty met at length with Mrs. Key, Superintendent,
Bart Flener, and SES Library Assistant, Sherry Garner, to gather details for a
perspective article regarding how RISD closely collaborated with Global Vending
Machine Group of Buffalo, New York, to create the first-in-Kentucky exclusive book vending machine modeled after the school’s design. GVG is the only company in the world to supply this product. Mrs Key said, “We are honored that KSBA came to RISD to spotlight our Vending machines as well as the great work occurring through our Russellville READs grant”.
