Bike sharing at the library!

Shain Library and Spokespeople, Connecticut College's student-run bicycle collective, have just launched a new bike-sharing service. Any student can check out a bike at the Shain circulation desk to use for the day. Spokespeople keeps them maintained and provides helmets. In the first two weeks of the service, bikes have already been borrowed 59 times. If you stop by the library, you'll see the bikes (dubbed "CC Cruisers") at the rack by the main entrance. Come and enjoy a ride in the spring weather!
