Episode Description:
In this episode of Library Exchange, we delve into the exciting world of bookmobiles and their significant impact in one of Georgia’s largest school districts. With Jan Wilson, co-host turned special guest, we explore how this unique program combats the traditional summer slide and fosters a love for reading among students.
The discussion highlights how the program, which started in 2017, has expanded to include two buses and a van, reaching thousands of students each year with a variety of books. Unique in its approach, the initiative emphasizes student choice and provides brand-new books to young readers, creating valuable personal libraries.
We also learn about the collaborative efforts behind the project, with community and district partnerships driving its success. Whether through a yearly 5K or partnerships with local charities, the program continually evolves to meet the needs of the community. Join us as we explore the powerful link between accessibility and literacy and inspire new ways to engage young minds through reading.
