https://thereadingspa.com/CURATED BOOKS & DISTINCTIVE COLLECTIONS
We provide library and classroom collections, classroom novel sets, early literacy, children’s and young adult literature, classics, complete series, boxed sets, and distinctive UK and international editions.
Schools do not need to begin with a completed title list.
Tell us who your readers are, what you want to accomplish, and the budget you are working with, and we can develop a customized collection proposal for review.
We support individual classrooms and libraries as well as multi-campus and district-wide collection initiatives.
All of our books are new.
BOOK VENDING MACHINES & READING REWARD PROGRAMS
The Reading Spa offers book vending machines as complete literacy and reading-reward programs — not simply equipment purchases.
Programs may include:
Book Vending Machines • Custom Branding • Curated Initial Book Fills • Reading-Reward / Token Programs • PTA or Sponsor-Supported Programs • Recurring Replenishment • Age- and Interest-Based Curation
Already have a vending machine?
We can supply curated refills and ongoing replenishment.
READING NOOKS & CALM READING SPACES
We help schools and libraries create beautiful, calm, welcoming spaces where children want to stay and read.
Reading-nook projects can combine curated books, soft seating and furniture concepts, literary accessories, plushies, and other elements selected around the readers, the space, and the available budget.

The Reading Spa also provides:
Reading Rewards & Student Incentives • Book-Themed T-Shirts • Hats • Pins • Pouch
These can support reading challenges, literacy nights, summer reading, book clubs, student recognition, teacher appreciation, and schoolwide reading initiatives.

Individual Campus Purchases • Library Refreshes • Classroom Collections • Multi-Campus Projects • District-Wide Initiatives • Reading Nooks • Book Vending Programs • Reading Rewards • Custom Curated Collections
