Visit from the library bus

Kids enrolled in the Children's Enrichment Center checked out books on Wednesday without making a trip to the library.

The Amazing Reading Bus stopped at the center. The mobile library is sponsored by Allendale Public Schools, Allendale Township and many businesses. The bus stops at the Children’s Enrichment Center each Wednesday morning during the summer; young patrons do not need to be enrolled at the center to visit the bus.

Sharalle Arnold, director of the Children’s Enrichment Center, said, “Our student-parents like bringing their kids to the bus to get books because sometimes their schedules make it difficult to find time to get to the library.”

The Enrichment Center gave a $100 donation to the Amazing Reading Bus along with a box of used books. Arnold said faculty and staff members who would like to donate books for the bus can drop them off at the center on West Campus Drive; call x15437 for more information.
