Barrio Bookmobile

Come out and visit the Barrio Bookmobile at the Avondale Fiesta this Saturday, fun for the whole family!

Bring the family and come visit the Barrio Bookmobile at this Sunday's El Puente Fest at the Tempe Center for the Arts.

'Twas the season for stories, for quiet and cheer,
With warm cups, good books, and moments held dear.
So let's cherish these moments, this season, this bliss,
With stories that bring us together in peace.
May your holidays sparkle, your books fill your heart,
From the Barrio Bookmobile, where every story's a start.

A little lunchtime reading today. Just got through the forward and already learned something that will make our author visits more successful and exciting for the kids.

Our thanks go out to the awesome students at Desert Willow Elementary who held a book drive for the Barrio Bookmobile and donated some 800 books! And congratulations to Ms. Moritz' 1st grade class who collected an incredible 366 books— more than any other class! We really enjoyed visiting with the students and showing them the bookmobile when we went to pick up the books. We'd like to also thank Principal Baca-Dunlap, Ms. Moritz, and the students of the school's community service K-Kids club who organized the book drive.

Our thanks to friend of the Barrio Bookmobile, author Amanda Malek-Ahmadi, for including us in her "10 Ballet Dancers" book birthday and to everyone who donated a copy for our bookmobile!
