2020 Summer BookMobile
in partnership with Haverhill Public Schools
About the project
The Haverhill Promise 2020 Summer BookMobile was a two week mission to provide new and gently used books to Haverhill students and their families amid the Covid-19 school and library closures. The “BookMobile” was a Haverhill Public Schools bus loaded with boxes of donated books for all ages. A licensed bus driver and Haverhill Promise staff and volunteers unloaded the book boxes each day at one of five designated lunch distribution sites around the City of Haverhill. Individuals were invited to fill a bag with books to keep for free, but many families chose to bring books from their home libraries to trade for new titles.
Over 2,200 books were given out over a total of 10 days.
Thank You
Haverhill Promise would like to thank the HPS transportation department, our BookMobile volunteers, and the many families who donated books! Special thanks to Ruth’s House, Community Giving Tree, and the Haverhill Public Library for your timely contributions.
