Mission Statement: To reach students throughout Barry County, providing access to summer reading and active learning. Bus, owned by the YMCA of Barry County, is operated through a collaboration between the Y, Delton Kellogg Schools, Hastings Area School System
, Thornapple Kellogg Schools, Maple Valley Schools, the United Way of Barry County, and Hastings Public Library. Our team is on a mission to keep Barry County kids and families reading all summer. Bus will visit neighborhoods throughout the county on specific days during the summer, Monday-Thursday. Participants can check out books, listen to stories, and engage in activities at stops. Fridays are reserved for family fun days in local parks central to the school districts listed. Help keep the B. Bus rolling by considering an annual monetary gift. No gift is too small to keep Barry County reading strong! Y on the Fly (YOTF) is a mobile YMCA, or “The Y without the walls,” providing food, fun, and fitness.
