We have been fortunate to have The Book Bus ("Bokbussen" in Swedish) visit our neighborhood, in Göteborg, Sweden, twice a week! Every few weeks, we look forward to borrowing books and returning them without having to worry about going to the library - which remains closed during Covid.
The books on The Book Bus are mainly for kids (toddlers to teens) but parents/adults can even reserve books and pick them up in the book bus.
Each book bus has different designs. This one had space theme art on the outside.
This week, I was late returning the books we borrowed. The book bus didn't come to our neighborhood two weekends ago, so I waited till the following weekend to return them. I was pleasantly suprised to find out that there are no late fees ever for kids books and no late fees during Covid time.
Only one family is allowed on the bus at a time and the door is opened/closed each time
(depending on your preference).
Note: The book bus took a break during the summer months but are now back to it's regular schedule! We visited recently and picked up some great books in English. They have a few other languages available as well!
If you're in Göteborg, be sure to check out The Book Bus schedule to find out when it'll be in your area. Stay safe and remember, don't forget your snacks!
