Northview Mobile Library

Every summer, book tubs are loaded onto a Northview truck and the 'mobile library truck' goes around to neighborhoods to deliver books to families. Often children clap and cheer when they see the book mobile arriving. Last summer, over 300 children and adults climbed the stairs into our mobile library truck, selected and exchanged books to read. The mobile library makes three visits (June, July, August) to six different neighborhoods. Children climb out of neighborhood pools to get books, families drive to one of the stops, and the excitement about books and reading is amazing.
We need your help. When we have older students and adults selecting books to read, it is hard for us to recommend, 'book talk', to these people. That is where we need you. With your excitement for reading, and your book knowledge, you are better able to help connect them with the perfect book than we are.
So we would love to have your support this summer.
Here is the mobile library schedule. If you can join us at any time, please send a note to any of the principals or literacy specialists.
