The Book Bus
Let’s start the week off right with a delightful story about a book bus! Melanie Moore, a retired school teacher, converted a 1962 Volkswagen Transporter into a book bus–an independent, bookstore on wheels. You can catch Moore, her VW, and books around Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.
More Books On Buses
Barbara Nolan decided to bring books to Philadelphia commuters by creating Books in Transit, a program that offers fourteen titles to choose from which you can grab at three SEPTA locations. Bonus, the books don’t have to be returned. And the selection of books is fantastic! May all public transit commuters be this fortunate.
