Summer is here and I know many of us are trying to figure out how to keep our kids engaged in reading. Enter the West Fargo Library and the Library on Wheels (formerly The Little Red Reading Bus)!
It is by far one of our FAVORITE weekly summer activities.
The Library on Wheels
The Library on Wheels is a pop-up library that makes stops at nine of the local parks in West Fargo parks during the summer. They can also be seen around town at a variety of community events and host programs at the library building!
They have books for all different age ranges, from baby board books to chapter books for older kids and adults.
You can even sign up for a library card, check out items, and learn about library programs and services. There are even games and activities for families to practice important reading skills!

How Do You Check Out a Book?
In order to check out a book from the Library on Wheels, you need a West Fargo Library card.
It is super easy to do! Just go visit the West Fargo Public Library in person, visit one of the stops above, or sign-up for it online.
Just like any library book, you bring it back the next week at any of the Library on Wheels stops!
Pro-tip: Get a little bag/backpack that you can keep your library books and card in to keep everything in one spot for easy transport!
What We Love about It
Everyone who helps out at the Library on Wheels is super nice.
Along with the books, they usually set up a couple other activities for the kids such as chalk and games, a giant Jenga set, and other toys and games.
Go check it out this summer! You won’t regret it!
