If you can't go to the library, let the library come to you. High River will soon do just that, with the purchase of a book bike that will bring library services outdoors to the community. "It's a low cost way, in a sense, of having a bookmobile and serving other portions of the community, encouraging being outdoors, mental health, physical health, all those sorts of things," said Mary Zazelenchuk, director of the High River Library. "I think a library certainly has a role in helping to build an active, healthy, informed community." The High River Library's book bike will allow the library to bring storytime and other programming to local parks.
