Book Bus
The ReadOKC On the Go! Book Buses are ADA-compliant school buses that have been modified into a traveling book buses. They travel to all OKCPS elementary, middle, and high schools, allowing each student to select a book of their choice from a wide variety of genres and titles to add to their home library.
Over 35,000 books have been distributed to students since July 2021.

“The Little Library has brought an excitement for reading to our students, especially first thing every morning. Our students exit their cars and buses in the morning and swap out their books. It allows our kids to always have a book in their hand.”
