Tour de DCPL
Library staff discovered a great way to explore the ongoing transformations at the DC Public Library—by bike!
The Tour de DCPL was born in 2010, a free community bike ride that visits several of our 26 library locations. Every year, to celebrate National Bike Month, a group of library staff, advocates and community members strap on their bike helmets to help the DC Public Library promote environmentally friendly transportation and explore how our libraries connect with the communities they serve.
Thank you to those of you who rode in the 10th Annual Tour de DCPL on Sunday, May 19.
