PAKRAT Roll & Read Bus Begins June 9

June 9, 2025

The PAKRAT Roll and Read book bus will be coming to a neighborhood near you! Come borrow your favorite books from the library on the bus! Our book bus is open to children of all ages, birth through grade 8, and completely free!

Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays during the summer – come to any location that is convenient for you. Everyone is welcome at any stop! The PAKRAT Book Bus will not run the week of June 30 – July 4.

We do not charge for lost books in the summer! Our goal is to keep every child reading over the summer to prevent the summer slide. You can return your books to any stop, any week during the summer or to any District 742 school in the fall.

The PAKRAT Summer Book Bus is sponsored by District 742 and the LEAF Foundation. Learn more about PAKRAT here.
