Get A Free Kids Bike Helmet Tuesday At Brooklyn Public Library

PROSPECT HEIGHTS, BROOKLYN — The Brooklyn Public Library will be giving away free kids bike helmets on Tuesday at its central branch in Grand Army Plaza.

The giveaway is being done to help promote the library's annual "Bike The Branches" event, a day-long ride through BPL's 60-branch system that raises money for the library.

In order to get the free helmet, you must be registered for the event. Registration is $20 for adults, $10 for kids 17 and under and seniors 65 and up, $40 for families — which includes up to two adults and three children — and $100 for teams of up to 10 people.

The library will be facilitating the helmet handouts on Tuesday, May 16, from 3 to 6:30 p.m. at its main Grand Army Plaza branch. There is no age limit on who can receive a helmet, according to a library spokesman.
