Bikes for Books

From April 15th to May 31st, the Lewiston Public Library is partnering with the Ancient Brothers Lodge #178 to bring the Masonic Bikes for Books program to children in Lewiston and Auburn and give away 8 brand new bikes.

To participate, kids in grades 1 through 8 will fill out a book review at the library. For every book review completed, a raffle ticket with their name will be entered into the drawing to win a bike. Kids can submit more than one book review. A reception will be held for kids to receive their bikes on June 17th at 11am in the Children’s Department at the Lewiston Public Library.

The brothers of Ancient Brothers Lodge #178 are excited to partner with the Lewiston Public Library to expand our lodges Bikes for Books program. To continue to work at improving the community at large, as well as to aid in the success of our children and the future to come. It’s essential to establish a love for reading early in life.
