In case you missed this great press from the Chippewa Falls Public Library–a sad and frustrating situation (a kid’s bike got stolen) turned into a terrific opportunity to do something cool (a bike lock collection).  I’ve seen the bike lock collection advertised at the library in Eau Claire, too.  Anyone else do this?  It is a good way to encourage biking, deter crime, and make the library more welcoming and easier to use for people who might not have other reliable forms of transportation!
