Mobile library gives free books to homeless Albuquerque Public Schools students
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – A program bringing books to homeless students made a stop at Bernalillo County's family shelter. Albuquerque Public School's McKinney-Vento program, which serves homeless students and families, rolled out its mobile library Monday afternoon. Up to $7,500 in project funding available through Bernalillo County Neighborhood Grant Program Unlike a regular library, kids can keep the donated books, which organizers say is a big relief for families who worry about book returns and fees. 'Last fall, we had some of our students tell us that they were able to go to the library at school but weren't able to take books home because they didn't have a home to go to. They said their parents were fearful of the fees and the costs of not being able to return library books. So, this program gives us an opportunity to make sure that our students in shelters have access to literacy,' said Cristal Wilson, director of APS McKinney-Vento program. The mobile library was named Mary's Book Nook after long-time APS employee Mary Bretting-Miller, who worked for APS Title 1 for forty years. She also started Storytime in the Park in partnership with KRQE. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
