Program Description

Event Details

Our visit to your library will be happening soon! We are very excited to meet you and your children. 

Who is Bess the Book Bus?

Bess the Book Bus is a Tampa-based mobile literacy outreach dedicated to building home and classroom libraries. We instill a love of reading by making the joy of book ownership a reality. We believe that the combination of choice, access and joyful reading will help all children identify as readers for a lifetime of learning. Bess has given 950,000+ books to children throughout Tampa Bay and the contiguous U.S. (as part of our national reading tours). We provide new books to readers and teachers in a fun and interactive way.

Will you be bringing a bus?

Yes! Our beautiful and colorful bus will be visiting the site. The bus is outfitted with rolling carts which will be loaded with a wide array of books that were curated for your own special Joy of Reading Book Fair.
