Cycling for libraries

Nordic Tour - Cycling for libraries 1.-10. september 2015

Cycling for libraries is a politically and economically independent unconference and a bicycle tour that supports physical and mental well-being of library professionals.

We are indeed library people ourselves and it is therefore an honour for us to sponsor part of this event where a group of library professionals from around the world in 10 days travels 600 km’s by bike and visits more than 20 libraries in Norway, Denmark and Sweden.

The theme is New Nordic and the tour will take place from the fjords of Oslo in Norway, along the west coast of Sweden until arrival in Aarhus, Denmark, right in time for Next Library conference and the opening of Dokk1. Along the way the participants will be visiting academic, public and special libraries and discussing library issues.
