Bike for Books

Bike for Books is very simple.

• Ride your bicycle to the Main Library or Fowler Branch Library - all ages encouraged!
• Show your helmet to staff at the Children's Library Desk at the Main Library or at the Fowler Branch Desk, and we’ll keep track of your visits.
• After 10 visits with your helmet, you receive a Bedford Farms gift card!

This program grew out of an intent to inspire clean methods of transportation locally and a life-long love of exercise. The Town of Concord set a goal to reduce community-wide greenhouse gas emissions - meaning largely emissions from gas-fueled cars and motorcycles - by 80% in 2050. This goal inspired the Concord Free Public Library Corporation to lead the development of a Sustainability Program specific to the Library, and from that, birthed a staff-led Green Team who work actively to encourage small but crucial steps within the community (and with staff!) through educational programs, a monthly newsletter, recycled craft supplies, and more!

This program is generously sponsored (and created!) by the Friends of the Concord Free Public Library.
