The Book Bike Rides: Summer 2023!

Our beloved Book Bike has a busy schedule lined up for this summer. Look for us at the following dates and locations, and keep your eyes open – we might make surprise visits to other community locations and events! Wherever we go the story is free books for all ages.

Summer Mondays at Cape Cod Apartments:

  • The Book Bike will visit 62 Locust Street one Monday each month this summer.
  • Find us there on these Mondays at 10:30 AM: May 15, June 12, July 17, August 7, September 11, October 2.

Summer Thursdays at the Farmer’s Market:

  • The Book Bike can be found Thursdays at the Falmouth Farmer’s Market at Marine Park, 180 Scranton Ave.
  • We are there from 12:30-1:30 PM, starting when the Market opens May 25, and until they wrap it up on October 5.

Select Homes Games of the Falmouth Commodores:

  • We’ll be there some nights the Falmouth Commodores play at Fuller Field, behind 790 Main Street (Gus Canty Recreation Center).
  • Find us there Tuesday June 13, Tuesday June 20, Wednesday July 19, Wednesday July 26, and Wednesday August 2, all at 6pm.

In general, rain that’s more than “misting” cancels a Book Bike visit so let’s hope for a sunny summer! See you soon, and be sure to wave if you see us pedaling around downtown.
