My Nonprofit Reviews

As the program manager of an after school program located numerous Title One Schools in St. Petersburg Florida I’ve had the honor of collaborating with Bess The Book Bus. At last count Bess has provided nearly 10,000 books to hundreds of students in the last four years. Ms. Frances makes it her business to visit our elementary schools a minimum of four times a year. Students are able to pick books of their interest for not only their program libraries, but to build home libraries as well. Before my eyes I’ve seen students go from “ I hate to read” to “When’s Bess coming, I need a new book”. Our program, our students and our staff are better, brighter and wiser for have Bess The Book Bus in our lives.
