Recently Asked Questions (RAQs)

Hello,

At [our] Public Library, we don't allow patrons to bring their bikes into the library. Our Teen Services Librarian suggested we purchase bike locks to loan patrons because often patrons, especially the teens/tweens, don't have bike locks and are nervous about leaving them outside unattended. We rent our space, so the park outside our Main Street entrance and the nearby bike "rack" (more of a giant U-bolt) is not ours.

So, I have a couple concerns:
*What is our liability if we provide a bike lock that fails or the bike rack fails?
*How do we ensure that our bike lock is accessible to those who have disability, from limited vision to fine motor skills impairment.
