Come hop on the Book Bus in Bulloch County this summer for children 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 these locations. Children may pick out a book to take home and keep. This increases the number of books children have access to at home and encourages reading at home.

If you miss the Book Bus, visit one of the Literacy Council's more than 30 reading nooks in local businesses to pick out a free book as well.

Visit www.bullochschools.org/bullochread for a list of reading nook locations and more information about the Literacy Council's work to improve early literacy in Bulloch County.
