Thanks and 99.9 WWCT for having us on this morning to chat about !

If you missed it, we talked about how if you sign up for Summer Reading at Lincoln Branch, your child might win a brand-new bicycle. We give away between 60 to 100 new bikes every year, ages Pre-K to 12th grade. (Only at Lincoln Branch)

And you can get a new bike helmet (first 200 kids) when you come to Pedal Palooza on Saturday, June 13th from 11 AM to 2 PM at Bicycle Safety Town on Sheridan Road.

Peoria Public Library will be there!
