Programs: BUZZ
INTO BOOKS
The
Buzz Into Books Literacy Campaign was implemented
in 2002 to increase children’s excitement and
interest in reading. Our mascot, “Buzz,” is
a large bumble bee character who visits parks,
schools and community centers throughout Hillsborough
County.
Buzz Into Books is the core It’s All About
Kids program. Buzz gives out calculators, books
and school supplies, and encourages the children
he meets to enjoy learning and stay in school. Buzz Into Books is a totally mobile program
and can be booked for your event with advance notice.
Buzz captures the attention and imaginations
of school-age children who like to hear how
he faced his own set of challenges and how he overcame
them with self confidence and increased reading skills.
Buzz tells a story about being a bumble bee with
a large body and tiny wings. He didn’t think
his wings could support him enough to fly.
But then, by gaining knowledge and confidence,
he learned that he could not only fly – he
could soar.
The items Buzz gives to children are donated by the community through the It’s All About
Kids book and supply drive. Visit the How
to Help section of
our site to learn how you too can make a difference.
Buzz Into Books is an approved service provider
by the Hillsborough County School Board.
