The Beebe Badger Bookmobile is getting ready to go on the road again. Please note that we will have an “A” week schedule and a “B” week schedule. Books may be checked out and/or returned at any location. Beebe Public Schools would like to express sincere appreciation to all community collaborators who have graciously granted permission for all bookmobile stops. Be watching the Beebe Public Schools website for a link to a weekly bookmobile blog, where our summer travels will be documented and shared with the community: http://www.beebebadgers.org/
We are very excited to announce that we will be hosting programs at some of our bookmobile stops this summer. The programming schedule is a work in progress, but we need YOU! We are seeking volunteers to share your knowledge and experiences with our bookmobile patrons. If you have travelled extensively and have artifacts you could share, are a terrific storyteller, or have any other unique talents, skills or interests that you would be willing to share with our patrons, please contact Kay Calvert at kay.calvert@badger.k12.ar.us or 501-882- 5463 X1042. Many dates are still available. We welcome volunteers who could join us for ONE stop, for ONE day, OR for multiple days. We know there is a wealth of knowledge and experience in our community and we would like to share it with, specifically, the students who join us at the bookmobile. Typically, over the summer months, we see a regression in the knowledge that our students gained during the previous school year. Let us all work together to ensure that Beebe students remain the best and the brightest!
