Building a Community of Readers
ReadOKC On the Go! Book Buses
We improve access to reading materials for OKCPS children through the ReadOKC On the Go! Our Book Buses are ADA-compliant school buses that have been modified into traveling book buses. They visit all OKCPS elementary, middle, and high schools each school year, allowing each student to select a book of their choice from a wide variety of genres and titles to add to their home library.
Reading Buddies & Book Clubs
Inspire young readers! ReadOKC Reading Buddies and Book Clubs offer volunteers the opportunity to be a positive role model for OKCPS students. Become a ReadOKC Volunteer and engage with a small group of students on a weekly basis. Enjoy reading with them and serve as a mentor in their lives.
Little Libraries
69 Little Libraries installed throughout Oklahoma City provide 24/7 access to OKCPS students and community members. Each elementary, middle, and high school has a Little Library, as well as several public locations in the city.
Our Little Libraries are supported by stewards and Friends of the Little Libraries.
Reading Challenges
We organize Reading Challenges for OKCPS students each semester, with a goal for every student to read 20 minutes per day. Since 2017, OKCPS students have logged over 46 million minutes and over 71,000 students have met the challenge goal.
Support our Reading Challenges by providing incentives!
ReadOKC is an initiative of the OKCPS Compact, led by Oklahoma City Public Schools Foundation.
