The Book Bus returns to The River’s parking lot on April 18th!
Stop by 15 Hampton Avenue in Northampton, MA from 10 AM to noon to donate used and new books for young readers here in the Pioneer Valley.

Clean out your bookshelves and mark your calendar – Saturday, April 18th, from 10 AM to noon, the Book Bus rolls into downtown Northampton! We’re collecting used and new children’s and young adult 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. We’ve gathered THOUSANDS of books for them over the last few years – let’s keep going!

Can’t make it on the 18th? Stop by UMass 5 Federal Credit Union‘s Northampton branch (225 King Street) or their Hadley branch (200 Westgate Center Drive, off of Route 9) and drop off your books early by Friday, April 17th!

Bring a book, a bag of books, bring a whole library – we want as many books for readers ages K-12 as we can get (no encyclopedias, please)! Please do try to bring them in a grocery bag or box that you don’t want back, 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 10 AM to noon on Saturday, April 18th.
