Bus of Books

who we are bus of books is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to providing young people in rural and disadvantaged communities within australia with resources and programs to read and succeed. we envision a world whereby all young people will be able to engage in a rewarding education that empowers them to reach their full potential and make a difference in their communities. lack of basic literacy skills is one of the biggest barriers to ‘closing the gap’ in communities in need, creating deep social disadvantages and limiting opportunities later in life. by immersing young people in the culture of reading, imagination is ignited and confidence built for a prosperous future, regardless of race, economic status and geography. by supporting literacy education in underfunded schools, libraries and communities, bus of books hopes to foster change in welfare dependent communities by inspiring the imaginations of young people and empowering them to seek higher learning and employment op
