Wordsworth the Bookmobile arrives in Chicago, Illinois for the American Library Association (ALA) 2017 Convention!

At the yearly gathering of booklovers held in Chicago’s McCormick Place convention center June 22 – 27, Wordsworth the Better World Bookmobile is on display in “The Park & The Playground @ ALA.” The Park offers “a quieter spot with some soothing sounds” where attendees can “ take a break from the miles of aisles,” and behind it, the interactive Playground allows visitors “to ‘play’ with future-focused technologies arriving in libraries today and tomorrow.” At booth #2956, visitors can learn about the Better World Books mission and available library services, including the Library Discards & Donations Program that provides free materials and shipping for relief of surplus books, among other benefits.

Wordsworth, one of the newest additions to the Better World Books family, aims to drive literacy rates sky-high. The bookmobile even has fan mail! From one elementary student, Adrian: “I think your books on the bus are cool.” Visit Wordsworth at the ALA conference June 22 – 27, 2017 to experience in person just how much Better World Books Cares.
