My Nonprofit Reviews

Last year was the first I’d heard of Bess the Book Bus. I thought, what an amazing program!
We had her come to our library at the beginning of summer. I was so impressed that I have already contacted her to see if she can come again this year. I was so excited to see how many parents, caregivers, and children attended! The kids were so excited! They enjoyed coming into the library and hearing Jennifer read them a couple of stories. We went outside after that and the kids waited patiently and with excitement for their turn to pick out their books to take home. Many kids were excited to see Bess the Book Bus and had their picture taken in front of the bus. Jennifer is great to work with. I loved her personality and excitement which rubbed off onto the rest of us. Books can be expensive and some kids don’t have many books at home. By having this at the beginning of summer was a great way to get books into the kids’ hands over the summer, and the books were free. Everyone should start reading to their children at an early age. I haven’t seen many kids who don’t want to sit and listen to you read them a story. They usually say, can you read one more? We all need to do all that we can to get children excited about reading. This literacy outreach program is awesome! What a creative idea! Thank you to Jennifer, her team, and sponsors for making this happen. Keep up the great work!
