Cycling for libraries is a professional event for all people working with libraries. So naturally the content is about libraries, and librarianship, and all things related to them.

Being uniquely a mobile event, Cycling for libraries visits local libraries and meets with local colleagues. We will see some big libraries, and we will see some small libraries too.

Cycling for libraries is an “unconference”, and so there will be minimal exposure to PowerPoints and sitting in auditoriums listening to somebody talk on the podium. Instead we will workshop, debate, see, touch, hear and engage ourselves in more meaningful ways. At “unconferences” the programme isn’t dictated by organizers, but the content is made together by all the participants.

By virtue of riding bicycles, we will experience the real environments where libraries and librarians operate.

And yes. There will be bicycling.
