The San Jose Public Library (SJPL) presents the second annual Gira de Libro.
The Gira is a guided bicycle ride that will visit five of San Jose's twenty-three branch libraries. It will start and finish at the Dr. Roberto Cruz-Alum Rock Branch Library, 3090 Alum Rock Ave. and will visit the following branch libraries: Evergreen, Hillview, Educational Park, and Berryessa.
Each stop will feature tours of the libraries' services, collections and public art. There will be refreshments at each location and at the end of the ride there will be a live band, a recycled bicycle inner tube art activity and more!
The Gira de Libro starts at 9:00 AM, Saturday, May 9. Wheels hit the road at 9:30 AM. The ride stops at each library to regroup; the total distance is 32km (20 miles). The event will end at approximately 3:00 PM.
We invite you to ride with us and enjoy the City of San Jose's libraries and bikeways.
For safety purposes, registration is required. To register, visit the Library's website: sjpl.org/giradelibro
Please Note: The bicycle tour will not be held in the event of inclement weather.
The San Jose Public Library seeks to create a welcoming and lively learning center for the community. The Gira de Libro highlights the Library's role of bringing people together through unique, and creative programming.
The name of the ride, Gira de Libro, is a play on the name of the famous Italian professional road bike stage race, Giro d'Italia, which starts May 9. SJPL's Gira de Libro roughly translates to "turns of the book" or "book tour."
