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 DC Public 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. 

The 8th Tour de DCPL on Saturday, May 20, 2017 will visit five neighborhood libraries in SE + SW, in Wards 6, 7 and 8. Come join the ride - registration is open online now and the route can be found online as well! Email bikedcpl@gmail.com with any questions.
