Support “Green Reads,” a Program That Finances Libraries by Distributing Used Books in Eco-Friendly Vending Machines

by Dan Colman, Open Culture: http://www.openculture.com/2014/05/green-reads.html

Green Reads has launched a crowd funding campaign on IndieGogo to build 15 eco-friendly, used book vending machines.

Invented by Dana Clarke, the machines require no electricity and they’ll allow libraries, charities, and book retailers a way to sell used books and create a sustainable source of revenue.

Green Reads is looking to raise $75,000 ($5000 per machine) by May 19.

Once operational, the machines will be donated (not sold) to libraries and charities.
