Carnegie Public Library is excited to hit the road for the second year and bring library services to community events, schools, and more with our Book Bike, made possible by American Rescue Plan Act funds! This year, we want to give our Library Book Bike an official name, and we want your ideas!

Tony’s Welding and Fabrication was so generous to help us put the finishing touches on our Book Bike for its debut season last year, and we want to thank Tony’s by incorporating their name into the Book Bike’s official name! We have one rule for entries: incorporate “Tony” into the name!

Submissions will be accepted through Monday, April 10. Library staff will select 2-3 names from all submissions to be presented for public voting. Public voting will begin on Monday, April 17 through Monday, May 8. The winning name will be announced on Saturday, May 13 at the Fayette County Farmers’ Market opening day.
