Special

Come get help repairing your bike with the Bay Area BikeMobile

We want to see more families riding their bikes to the library! That’s why we’ve invited the BikeMobile to provide free tune ups & repairs for parents and children.

The BikeMobile can fix flat tires, adjust brakes and gears, and even replace broken or worn out parts like chains, seats, and tires. The only thing it can’t do is replace missing wheels or gears. While the mechanics work on your bike they’ll explain how to keep it running smooth.

Join us for child directed, open-ended play at our play stations and a chance to talk with community resource professionals on topics such as nutrition, child development, and early literacy. This program is for kids ages 0-3 and their parents/caregivers. *Please call 510-981-6223 to register as space is limited.

This program will take place in the Community Meeting Room on the 3rd floor of the Central Library. Masks are required for all attendees over the age of 2.
