Madison Reading Project’s newest book bus — the only all-accessible free book bus in Wisconsin — launches next month to begin a year-round mission of bringing free literacy programs to children. The community is invited to attend the official launch, hosted by Wisconsin Athletics on Saturday, May 18, at the UW Campus’ Kohl Center concourse at 10:30 a.m.
Tours of both Madison Reading Project buses and other mobile partners, including Madison School and Community Recreation, local libraries, and Bucky Badger, will be featured. There will also be free books for all children attending.
Madison Reading Project’s funding campaign is nearly complete with the help of corporate donors, local foundations, and individuals sponsoring the newly expanded bus program. Junior League of Madison has donated to the campaign and is offering a $50,000 matching grant from now through the end of May to help reach the goal. To make a matching donation, click here.
