She worked with art teacher Amy Schoenacher and art students to complete the bright interior and exterior design. \u201cI wanted people to see it driving down the road and wonder what that amazing thing was coming towards them,\u201d says Justice. \u201cI wanted them to walk inside and then never want to leave because it was so inviting. I also wanted to showcase the amazing talent of the students within our school.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Justice purchased the bus three years ago using funds granted by the Brevard and Pisgah Forest Rotary Clubs. Over the course of seven weeks in the summer, Justice travels to libraries, festivals and other stops throughout Western North Carolina, where she distributes as many as 150 books weekly. All of Justice\u2019s time spent on the book bus is volunteered and she supplies the bus through in-kind and monetary donations so that students don\u2019t need to return books unless they want to. \u201cIf they want to exchange books each time they come, they are more than welcome to, but if they want to build up their own personal libraries at home, I also encourage that,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_59731\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-59731\" class=\"wp-image-59731\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Magic-Book-Bus-North-Carolina-author-Alicia-D.-Williams-on-the-Magic-Book-Bus-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Magic-Book-Bus-North-Carolina-author-Alicia-D.-Williams-on-the-Magic-Book-Bus-copy.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Magic-Book-Bus-North-Carolina-author-Alicia-D.-Williams-on-the-Magic-Book-Bus-copy-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Magic-Book-Bus-North-Carolina-author-Alicia-D.-Williams-on-the-Magic-Book-Bus-copy-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Magic-Book-Bus-North-Carolina-author-Alicia-D.-Williams-on-the-Magic-Book-Bus-copy-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Magic-Book-Bus-North-Carolina-author-Alicia-D.-Williams-on-the-Magic-Book-Bus-copy-810x1080.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Magic-Book-Bus-North-Carolina-author-Alicia-D.-Williams-on-the-Magic-Book-Bus-copy-1140x1520.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-59731\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">North Carolina author Alicia D. Williams on the Magic Book Bus<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Justice has seen first-hand the power of book ownership and how much joy it creates. \u201cAt one of my stops last summer, one child was standing there, holding a stack of books in her arms, hugging them, and said, \u2018I have more books in my hands right now than we have in our whole house.\u2019 That made a huge impact on me. The kids want to have books in their hands. They love to have books.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Magic Book Bus will start its summer route on June 22 and travel around every Thursday until school goes back into session. Justice will also bring the bus to the Heart of Brevard Halloweenfest and the Brevard and Rosman Christmas Parade this year.
