Back in 2020, IronPigs Charities awarded BAPL a grant for a really fun new initiative: a book-powered mini library! Call it a pedal-powered bookmobile. Or just “the book bike” (though technically it is a tricycle). It looks like an ice cream trike you’d see down the shore. But filled with books! Our plan is to take it to schools, parks, community events, anywhere where a mini mobile library would be welcome. You’ll be able to check books out from it, get some freebies, sign up for a library card, and receive recommendations on what to read next. Well it’s finally here (blame COVID for the long delay in the manufacture of the bike) and we’re so excited to hit the road with it! For now it’s on display at the Main Library — come check it out! Thanks again to Iron Pigs Charities for their donation! Go Pigs!
Contact info@bapl.org to see about having the book bike visit YOU!
