Children in Bulloch County are invited to hop on the “Book Bus” this summer to pick out free books to take home and keep.

The Bulloch County Literacy Council and Bulloch County Schools invite children and their families to several locations around the county beginning Friday through June 20.

According to a release from the school district, the Book Bus will “increase the number of books children have access to at home and encourages reading at home.”

Also, in addition to the Book Bus, the Literacy Council's has more than 30 reading nooks in local businesses in the area where children may pick out free books, as well.
