Summer is almost here. That means the Little Red Reading Bus is coming back!
For the last three summers, I have designed the schedule, posters, social media schedule and sign up sheets for the Little Red Reading Bus. This schedule informs young readers when this library on wheels will be at a location near them. This year’s schedule is now out!
Even though I have been designing materials for the bus since 2017, I hadn’t had a personal experience with the bus until last summer. I was taking my children to a park and the bus pulled in behind us. My oldest got so excited. It was an added bonus... playtime at the park AND a bunch of books. It was fun to see so many kids sitting down and getting lost in the stories.
From that day forward, we tried to take full advantage of this free service provided by the Grand Forks Foundation for Education and Alumni Network, the Grand Forks Public Schools and all the participating sponsors. We tried to visit that park at the same time for the rest of the summer. We even came across the bus at some of its other stops. Each time we saw it, my children got excited! What a great way to nurture the love of reading!
Here are the materials I created. Poster, Flyer, Flyer with Signup Sheet and Social Media Image of Schedule.
So if you have kids or grandkids and live in my area, make sure you check out this year’s schedule and follow the Little Red Reading Bus on social media for further updates. If you don’t live near here, look for a program like this in your area.
