Our first @CicLAvia was on October 5, 2015. In addition to the Book Bike having just arrived on the scene, Mary Abler was in the midst of her project called “Unexpected Outreach”.pic.twitter.com/aYmzPBjoDV

You see, the concept of just giving away a free book and wanting nothing in return was still a new concept. People were skeptical.⠀pic.twitter.com/yJUOsjeQL0

! It was like a party of rowdy librarians dancing in the street and signing people up for library cards. Mary has a loud voice and when we finally got to our final spot to give away books she started yelling, “FREE BOOKS! NO CATCH!”
That first CicLAvia was a huge success so of course we wanted more. Our next CicLAvia was in the Valley on March 22. 2015.pic.twitter.com/2lJMsq3hKA

By then we had a system. The Book Bike would get delivered to a library branch along the hub and we’d ride out from there. We still didn’t have an official station but this time we were granted permission by CicLAvia to find a spot in a hub, open up and give away books.pic.twitter.com/YWPsMGoYLB

We didn’t take up much space so this was perfect for us and it allowed us to visit two different hubs since we could stay on the move.⠀pic.twitter.com/k4fHJEH6Xb

After our first two events we learned how WE liked to do CicLAvia. It was here that our partnership with and commitment to the organization blossomed and we began to make “CicLAvia Friends”.⠀pic.twitter.com/BNLNKjI6O7
