Books on Buses
This was an article written by the Clackamas Review in 2016
Books on Buses is now a retired program that was sponsored by the Library Foundation. We used the book bags on the Gladstone School buses. Children would read the books while on the bus, or even take them home if they found the book interesting. Books were donated to the foundation or often purchased at a very reasonable price. Since we have retired this program, we have book bags available. If you are interested in purchasing our bus bags for your community, please contact us.
