The Allegheny County Library Association has placed its first book vending machine at the Allegheny County Jail (ACJ) for families visiting the facility. 📚📖 Visiting incarcerated loved ones can be an overwhelming experience, and ACJ anticipates this unique addition to its lobby will positively impact youth visitors. Several titles offered in the vending machine include characters with incarcerated loved ones to help children understand and cope with their own similar situations. Children can receive a free token from jail officers at the front desk and feed the machine to select a book. They can then take the book home to add to their personal collections. This project is in partnership with the Allegheny County Library Association, with funding provided by State Senators Jay Costa and State Senator Lindsey Williams.
