Yes, yes, and YES! JCPS just launched a wonderful program starting TODAY called the “Book Buggy” to help out children under the age of 18 this summer. The Book Buggy will run every Tuesday and Wednesday.

“This is really a one-stop shop for kids this summer. They’ll get a nutritious lunch, be able to select two new books, and receive supplies and information related to a weekly topic, such as dental hygiene, personal hygiene, and school supplies.” said Maria Carrico, Title 1 specialist for JCPS.”

The book buggy will run every Tuesday and Wednesday in June. It will follow the bus stop café , which gives free lunches to anyone under 18 during the summer.
