Last night we hosted a Stuffed Animal Sleepover for kiddos' favorite stuffies. These critters had a great time at storytime, then played all around the Library after their kids went home. We love sharing what they got up to when their kids come to pick them up today!

Precision… adventure… whimsy. 🚲 Introducing the Helen Plum Library Book Bike, dramatic-car-commercial style.

Catch the Book Bike at community events throughout the year, filled with swag, crafts, and of course, whimsy!

Video description: dramatic close-up shots of the book bike’s pedals, storage box, bell, light, and wheels that zooms out at the end to reveal the full bike.

Did you spot our new Book Bike during the Lilac Parade yesterday? We were thrilled to give it its first ride up Main Street and appreciated everyone who cheered us on! 🚲️

Special shout-outs to the Helen Plum Library Foundation for helping to fund the bike, and to Retro Glow Cycles for helping us take good care of it!

In case you missed it, you can catch the Book Bike at the Lombard Farmers Market tomorrow and at more community events throughout the year. We'll be loading it up with fun swag, crafts, and more for those who spot us at events around town.
