Boston’s bicycle-powered public library is back for a third year
The Boston Public Library’s mobile book collection is back.
The library announced its Bibliocycle is returning for its third season, kicking off with a visit to the Wake up the Earth festival in Jamaica Plain on Saturday. Boston residents can sign up for a library card, check out new reading material (limited to 10 items per person), and attend pop-up story time.
“The Bibliocycle has been one of our most successful outreach programs, taking library services out into the community, to our users, and we are happy to see it return, expanding our reach and giving staff the chance to interact with many more users,” David Leonard, the library’s interim president, said in a statement.

The bicycle-powered traveling library will visit Copley Square, Dorchester, Roxbury, Fenway, and Jamaica Plain in May and June. Interested groups can request a visit from the mobile collection.
“The Bibliocycle is the perfect complement to community events and activities in Boston’s parks and outdoor spaces,” Mayor Marty Walsh said in a statement. “I encourage residents to take advantage of the opportunity to connect with one of the City’s great assets—our library system.”
