The vending machines are placed in a church and a supermarket. Each machine is fully stocked (储备) with books and children are allowed to take as many as they want. Icema Gibbs is director of JetBlue Airlines. He thinks that making sure that kids develop a life-long love for reading is really important.Studies have shown that having books at home has a positive effect on childrens test scores in school. It makes kids more likely to read for pleasure. Icema Gibbs explains, Our program is based on trying to get books in the hands of children who dont have age-appropriate(适当年龄的) books at home. They can touch and pick a book that was important to them even if nobody, no adult was telling them what book they had to take. This year, JetBlue Airlines carried out a study. It found that in many families, there was only one age-appropriate book available (可用的) for every 830 kids. One book vending machine inside a church is one of three in a poor neighborhood in the city. In the neighborhood, many parents cannot afford to buy books for their children.Books tell you many things. The program is wonderful, one boy said excitedly.
