Well, Nevada Reading Week just wrapped up.

This year's theme... "Embrace the Magic of Reading."

It is a week to inspire and instill the joy and importance of reading all over the Silver State.

Here in the Clark County School District, there is a new resource to help promote the love of reading, and it is on wheels.

The CCSD Book Bus debuted at the start of the school year with a goal to distribute 75,000 new books to students at schools across the entire valley, schools like Helen Marie Smith Elementary School.

(Jennifer Wright) Oh, my gosh!

So we are so excited.

Today we have the amazing CCSD Book Bus you see behind me.

(Sunnylee Cooper) I've only seen like, yellow buses, but not this colorful one.

This is the only colorful one that I ever seen.

(Mael Agun) This?

This is a book bus.

(Marlee Moten) It's where you get on a bus, and then you pick books.

Like you get to pick any book.

(Tony Andia) There's a lot of big shelves and books, and they all look pretty fun.

-There's a lot of books on both sides.

I picked these two books because I want to learn about pollen and giraffes.

-I picked George Went to the Barber and Superheroes.

(Kelly Halland) It's always important for kids to take books home.

They come to the library weekly to do that.

But then these books they get to keep and put on their shelves and keep them forever.

-So you walk in.

First you see like rows and rows of books.

-I picked out this book because it looked really, really fun.

And it looked like it was funny.

-Kids don't have the opportunity to visit bookstores.

They don't exist.

So for them to get a book tangible in their hand that they selected is, it just brings so much joy to their faces.

And so to get to have them here today to select two free ones is just another celebration of reading, which is amazing.

-Like, I have a good time at the bus, on the book bus.

And then I explored new books I haven't read.

I can't explain it.

It's like so, it's so interesting.

-They just can't believe that they get to keep these books and actually take them home.

They, some of them have already asked me, Do I have to return them?

I said no.

They're yours to keep forever.

-Reading is important to know how to read any books and even any words.

I like reading a lot to my family.

-You read the words, you read the pictures, and look at the pictures so you can keep the word in your head.

So you can say it out loud and look at the pictures of the book.

-I just, I'm just excited for them because I see it on their faces.

-So for them to have the books they selected, there's an ownership over it.

-And that's what the book bus is about.

-Well, so far, the book bus has made stops, listen to this, at about 90 schools and events.
