The library is partnering with Madison County Transit to collect any and all bicycles! The bikes are donated to BWorks which is  an organization that helps kids earn a free bike while teaching them about bicycle safety and maintenance. Through the program kids learn problem-solving, teamwork, and independence, and at the end, they earn their own bike, helmet, light, and lock.
