Penguin’s book-vending machine at Scotland’s Linlithgow Academy is designed to give students access to more than 70 titles from Penguin’s “Lit in Colour” reading lists. The initiative was taken after research conducted by Runnymede Trust found less than 1% of students in Secondary Education (GCSE) programs had studied a book by a writer of color. The vending machine goals is to make the work of writers of colour more visible in schools.
