The Library Ride

Proceeds from the ride support the Friends of the Somerville Public Library and the installation of a public bike pump at Central Branch.

********** 

The Friends of the Somerville Public Library and the Somerville Bicycle Committee are organizing a 6-mile bike ride round the three Somerville library branches on May 3rd starting at 9am. This involves a stop at each for kids activities / refreshments / tours etc. 

Our Beacon Street neighbors Whole Foods are providing refreshments midway, and you can look forward to a bite from Union Square Donuts and coffee at the starting line. This is an early May event so check the weather and perhaps dress warm. Thick tweed might be an idea... Prizes will be given to best dressed man, woman and child (and bicycle!) thanks to Archival Clothing, Tretorn, and Redbones.

Why are we doing this? The aim of this event is to introduce Somerville residents to our three historic branch libraries, and use it as a teachable moment in regards to the online Minuteman library system that allows all Boston/Cambridge/Somerville area residents to borrow from each other's library holdings.

9am check-in at West Branch (40 College Avenue near Davis Square) for 9:30am start. Tickets and more info at http://thelibraryride.com/.
