Icicle Tricycles creates fully customized information kiosks, push carts, and book bikes that local libraries, book stores, city tourist organizations and federal parks use every day. With new models in development in-house, we keep innovating! We hand-build each mobile solution to your specific needs and deliver ready-to-use tools that make your endeavors successful.
Libraries and Parks
Community members gain unprecedented access to library resources through book bike programs. People who may face transportation barriers, mobility challenges, or time constraints can now enjoy the full benefits of library services brought directly to their neighborhoods, schools, and community events. Residents discover new literature, access educational materials, and connect with library programs without having to travel to a traditional library building.
“Why should I get a book bike?”
- Book bikes are carbon neutral and good for the environment
- Book bikes have a smaller footprint than gas-power book mobiles, and offer access to more areas
- Book bikes are eligible for purchase through grants
The program particularly benefits families with young children and elderly community members, who appreciate having books and resources delivered to convenient locations. People can browse collections, check out materials, and receive personalized recommendations in familiar, comfortable settings like parks, community centers, and local events.
This personalized approach helps individuals develop stronger connections with their library and park systems while expanding their educational opportunities. Community groups and organizations also benefit by hosting mobile library visits, giving their members direct access to curated materials, informational resources, and educational support that enhances their programs and initiatives.
