Bringing free books to children and families throughout northern Bastrop County.
Bringing Books to Our Community
The Elgin Book Bus / Bus de Libros is one of the Friends of the Elgin Library's most impactful initiatives, bringing free books to children and families throughout northern Bastrop County.
In partnership with the Elgin Public Library, Elgin ISD, and local organizations, the Book Bus promotes literacy, encourages a love of reading, and helps families build home libraries.
Over the past four years, the program has distributed more than 15,000 free books to community members of all ages.
Thank You
The Book Bus is made possible through generous grants, donations, and support from these organizations and individuals.









With thanks also to Elizabeth and John Vance, Elgin Luna Market, and the many individual community donors who keep the Book Bus rolling.
Community Partnerships
Through partnerships with local food pantries, nonprofits, faith-based organizations, and community events, the Book Bus continues to expand access to books and promote literacy.
