District referral

Refer a school in your district. They get $400 off a Bookworm. You get a discount on your next book bundle.

Pick the building that should have one and tell us why. We send them a quote with $400 already off and put our funding team on it, Title I, PTO, sponsors and grants. The moment you submit, your bundle code lands in your inbox.

For Bookworm schools and districts

Three steps, about two minutes

One machine has proved it in your building. Here is how the next one happens.

  1. Step 1

    Name the school

    Up to three buildings in your district, with a sentence on why each one is a fit. Buildings that already have a Bookworm are greyed out.

  2. Step 2

    We reach out

    Each school hears the story of your Bookworm and gets $400 off their machine. We only say a school in your district recommended them.

  3. Step 3

    You restock

    Your discount code arrives by email and works on any standard book bundle or a custom build in the Book Bundler.

    See the bundles
Refer a school

Name the next building.

Your district. Up to three schools. One sentence on why each one is ready for a Bookworm. Two minutes, no login.

  • $400 off their Bookworm

    Because you vouched for them. It is on their quote before they open it.

  • A bundle discount for you

    Your code is in your inbox the moment you hit send. Spend it on any bundle, standard or custom.

  • Your name stays out of it

    They hear that a school in their district recommended them. That is all.

3 Who gets the next Bookworm

What the first machine did

In their words, from the schools that already have one.

  • We purchased a book vending machine at the end of last year with our Read A Thon fundraising dollars. Loved it so much we purchased a second one!

    Amy S.PTO President

  • This machine has brought so much joy and excitement to my students. I want students everywhere to experience that feeling.

    Kara L.Media Specialist

  • The students love to share the books they have chosen with anyone who would listen to them. The community has really loved being able to share the books with our students.

    Gabrielle B.Teacher

  • User friendly ordering and delivery process and beautiful product. I wanted one for a long time and it is everything I imagined. Looks GREAT in our front office and rewards kids with books!

See all FAQs
Who gets the $400?

The school you name. The discount is tied to their quote the moment they build it through Request a Quote, so there is nothing for them to remember or enter.

What do I get for referring?

A discount code for your next book bundle, emailed to you as soon as you submit. It works on any standard bundle or a custom build in the Book Bundler, with no minimum and no deadline this school year.

Will the school know I referred them?

No. We tell them a school in their district recommended them. Your name and your building never appear on their email or their quote.

Can I refer more than one school?

Yes, up to three per form. Each school needs a contact name, a work email and a sentence on why it is a fit. You can come back and refer more later.

Why are some schools greyed out?

They already have a Bookworm. The list is built from our machine records, so a building that already runs one cannot be referred twice.

What if my district is not in the list?

The list comes from the federal NCES directory of public districts. Try fewer words or pick the state first. Private schools, charters outside a district and anything else: email hello@bookvending.com and we will set it up by hand.
