Introducing the GibLib Book Bike!  Learn more at giblib.org/bike
The library’s Book Bike made its first public appearance at the town’s 150th celebrations, downtown on September 11, 2021. We plan to bring the bike and a load of free books to locations all over Gibsonville, and would love to involve volunteers who are looking for an active, outdoor way to add a little community service to their life. If you are interested in helping out with Book Bike events (ages 18 & over, for now), please let us know hereIf you would like the Book Bike to stop in your neighborhood, you can make a stop request here.
