On Saturday, December 18, four youngsters walked off with new bikes – thanks to Doric Lodge #92 and Wright Brothers Cycle Works – from the Fremont Branch of the Seattle Public Library.

With generous distribution of pizza, chocolate and certificates of participation, plus the sense of accomplishment and pride that pervaded the room, all attendees got caught up in the celebration.
Starting Saturday, October 16 through Thursday, December 16, grade school aged children can win a chance at a new bike, with helmet and lock, for every three books they read and register at Seattle Public Libraries.
