- Say hello to another Penguin vending machine ๐ Secondary-school students at Linlithgow Academy now have access to over 70 different titles from our #LitinColour reading lists, via their new vending machine! Linlithgow Academy was picked from over 800 applications from schools across the UK, and it's hoped the vending machine will contribute to the schoolโs love of reading by making books more accessible and diversifying the range of titles available ๐โจ The machine is free to use and will be managed by teachers via a token system. With iconic titles from authors like Salman Rushdie, Toni Morrison, and Arundhati Roy, it will help students discover more brilliant books by authors of colour ๐งก Take a look at the #LitinColour reading lists >> https://lnkd.in/eQ8q-vjQ #books #book #reading #reader #school #schools #teacher #englishliterature #education #inclusive #publishing #library #PenguinBooks
