Madison Elementary School, Stevens Point, WILink to July 24 Stevens Point Journal article, "Library bikes deliver books".
Excerpt: Children in the neighborhood surrounding Madison Elementary School swarmed around two bicycles piping music and hauling baskets of goodies Thursday.
No, they weren't full of frozen treats, though it was the same concept as an ice cream truck. Instead of snow cones and Popsicles, children found food for thought -- hundreds of books to read.
Sponsored by the Central Wisconsin Reading Council, two Madison Elementary School teachers created a mobile library to ensure all students have the opportunity to read during the summer.
"A lot of these kids don't have transportation to the library, so we bring the library to them," said Paula Bartel, teacher and CWRC president
