The BookBike program has come to a close. Thank you for your interest in this program.
Adults, age 19 or over with a valid AVRL library card may borrow a bike. Borrowers must sign a BookBike Borrowing Agreement and Waiver or a eBike Borrowing Agreement and Waiver.
Bikes will be available on a first-come basis, and are due back the same day, no later than 30 minutes before the library closes.
The bikes will be loaned with a helmet and lock. If borrowers have their own helmet, they can bring that and show staff.
The bikes are available in Berwick.
The bikes are iWant Park Momentum
Visitors may apply for a library card and use our resources, including bikes.
Book Bikes is a project Annapolis Valley Regional Library has been working on by partnering with Anna Sherwood, Regional Physical Activity Consultant from the Department of Community Culture & Heritage – Community, Sport & Recreation Division, and the municipalities of Annapolis Royal, Berwick, and Wolfville. Funding for this project comes from a Community Development Grant from the Department of Communities, Culture and Heritage, Community Sport & Recreation Division, a generous private donation, and ongoing donations from local cycling enthusiasts.
The project is designed to promote alternate methods of transportation, to highlight the new Harvest Moon Trailway, and to get people moving. By providing free access to recreational bicycles to those who may not own a bike, or who just need a bike for the day, or who want to explore the area by bike, this project strives to promote cycling, help borrowers develop skills, and become more familiar with cycling in their community.

AVRL is developing their collection of books about cycling, how to maintain your bike, and cycle travel.
We’ve put together a booklist that makes it easy for you to find the collection. Grab your library card and place a hold, and the books will show up at your local library when available!
