Discover a Book

Mayor Martin Chavez and ABQ RIDE are pleased to announce the continuation of the successful Discover A Book program.  Launched in 2006, the city has collected more than 20,000 books to be placed on all city buses throughout Albuquerque. 

"Children will now be able to board the bus and read a book while traveling to their destination,” said Mayor Chavez.   “This is an example of our commitment to provide the community with a meaningful and educational experience on our transit system.”

ABQ RIDE began collecting books in the spring of 2006 with several book drives.  Businesses in the community were quick to join in with this great cause by placing donation boxes in their stores or by providing monetary donations to purchase the racks. 

Join us May 1 - 5 for a book drive at the Isotopes Park. Bank of Albuquerque will be having their book drive in June. Thanks to the Read to Me Program for their support and contributions.

Donate any new or used children's books at these locations
