Students in Pasco County who enjoy the free summer lunch bus meals are about to get another treat: free books!

The "Feeding and Reading" program is aimed to ensure students continue reading and learning while school is out.

The specially-painted POP (Power on Pasco) 21 bus will be stopping at schools and apartment complexes starting Tuesday to hand out free books to students.

The school district bought about 700 new books, and schools and staff donated thousands more.
