The Greene County Schools Magic School Bus will have its’ first full week of the summer this week, with locations around the area.
The buses will feature stops at schools, churches, community centers, neighborhoods and many other places.
According to Academic Coach Amanda Carpenter, the goal of the Magic Book Bus program is to make sure children have access to books year-round, especially kids living in rural parts of the county where access to libraries is limited. “Both buses will be on the road Monday-Friday in June and July 7th-11th and 14th-18th. The buses are free and open to anyone interested in getting a book.”
Visitors may read books while at the bus or take the books with them to return to the bus at a later stop this summer. A schedule of those future stops can be followed on the Greene County Schools Facebook page.
The Greene County Schools Magic Book Buses are sponsored in part by generous community donations and the United Way of Greene County. The program is always appreciative of book donations. Anyone interested in donating to the Magic Book Bus program should contact the Greene County Schools Foundation, Greene LEAF, at [email protected] or by calling 423.823.0732.
