GCPS Book Mobiles and van hit the road for summer on May 27!

     Gwinnett County Public Schools’ (GCPS) two book mobiles and van— called Pow, Explore, and Quest—are about to hit the road to bring a summer of reading to the Gwinnett community! Our book mobiles and van are returning to neighborhoods next week to bring library books to our students where they are this summer… at home!

     Starting on Tuesday, May 27, the two mobile libraries will travel routes that will take them to 90 stops in four clusters every week. The colorful converted school buses will make nine stops per day, checking out books to students who may not have easy access to the public library.

     The book mobiles will travel routes in the Berkmar, Central Gwinnett, Meadowcreek, and Norcross clusters. These libraries on wheels are stocked with books for all ages—Pre-K to 12th grade. The weekly schedule (11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday) will repeat each week through Tuesday, July 15. (Note that the book mobiles will not travel on June 19 or July 4.)

     From June 9 until June 27, the GCPS School Nutrition Program will offer meals to children visiting the book mobiles at the first four stops each day, Monday through Friday. Each day, Backpack Buddies of Metro Atlanta will provide snacks at each stop.

     From Tuesday, May 27, to Thursday, July 10, the Quest van will make 12 stops across the Discovery Cluster every Tuesday through Thursday. (Note that the van will not travel on June 19 or July 4). At each stop, Backpack Buddies of Metro Atlanta will be providing snacks.
