The FR365 Book Bus
Bringing books, excitement, and community reading experiences directly to kids and families who need them most.
Could You Imagine a Childhood Without Books?
Books educate, motivate, and inspire. Books prepare our young people for lifelong success in school and beyond, opening up brand-new worlds of exploration and imagination.
Sadly, a book-free home is all too real for millions of children living in poverty. The FR365 Book Bus directly solves this crisis by rolling directly into neighborhoods and giving children the pride of stepping on board to choose their very own books to take home.
