The Book Bus returns to Northampton Radio Group parking lot!
15 Hampton Ave., Northampton MA 10am-noon

Clean out your bookshelves and mark your calendar – Saturday, April 7th from 10am to noon is the Book Bus! We’re collecting used and new books of any kind (with a special emphasis on children’s books) for Reader to Reader, the Amherst-based nonprofit that helps increase literacy by getting books to underfunded schools, libraries in low-income communities and Native American reservations.

Bring a book, a bag of books, bring a whole library – we want as many books as we can get! New, used, all are welcome. Just bring them in a grocery bag or box that you don’t want back, please, so we can easily load and unload them.

The Book Bus is located in River’s parking lot, 15 Hampton Ave., downtown Northampton. Hours are 10am-noon.

Thanks to our sponsors for making the Book Bus possible!
