The story of the
GCPS Book Mobile: From Idea to Reality |
|
The GCPS Pow Book Mobile made its debut in the summer of 2017. The mobile library was stocked with over 4,000 books from school media centers. The Pow Book Mobile visited neighborhoods in the Meadowcreek cluster providing students the opportunity to select books to read during the summer.
Fall 2017 kicked off the school year program for the Pow Book Mobile. The Book Mobile was restocked with new popular books. Schools “book the bus” and students select one free book to add to their personal library at home.
The GCPS Explore Book Mobile hit the road in June 2018 and served the Norcross cluster. The GCPS Book Mobiles continue to visit low income neighborhoods during June and July allowing kids to check out books on a weekly basis.
The school year program continues to be highly successful. As of May 2019, The Pow and Explore Book Mobiles have visited more than 100 schools and over 40,000 books have been given away to students from PreK to grade 12.
Summer 2019 is gearing up to be the best yet! 30 new stops have been added in the Berkmar, Central, Discovery and Shiloh Clusters. The Book Mobiles are operating on Saturdays this summer!
The phenomenal response to this literacy initiative has allowed us to continue in our mission to put books in students’ hands!
