SUMMARY:Inter-library Roam Ride #1 — Vancouver
CONTACT:Josh
DESCRIPTION:New date\nEach ride in this series will start at a Multnomah 
 County Library (MCL) branch and end at a different library system\, with 
 an opportunity to sign up for a card at both locations. \n\nDid you know 
 that if you live in any Portland area county — Multnomah\, Washington\, 
 Clackamas\, or Clark — you can get library cards for all of those systems?
  Each library system has a unique selection of materials and services\, so
  collect 'em all! Libraries also make great pit stops while out riding — 
 water\, bathrooms\, a quiet spot to stop and rest without having to spend 
 money — so knowing your library branches can be very useful even when 
 farther from home. \n\nFirst up is Vancouver — officially\, Fort Vancouver
  Regional Libraries (FVRL). We'll start at the MCL North Portland branch\,
  swing by the recently-reopened MCL Kenton branch\, then head over to 
 Vancouver to the downtown Vancouver Community Library branch. If you want 
 to sign up for an FVRL library card\, bring photo ID and proof of address.
  See fvrl.org/library-accounts for more details and what kind of documents
  to bring. Route map: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/50234458\n\nAnother 
 perk of libraries is that they often have activities or exhibits available
  to visitors. For July and August\, the Vancouver Community Library branch
  has an art exhibit by the Chronic Pain Project\, "Illuminating the 
 Invisible." The Chronic Pain Project is a local nonprofit "dedicated to 
 raising awareness of the often-overlooked experience of living with 
 chronic pain." The exhibit on display at the library was created by 
 participants in the Chronic Pain Project and "the art created is a visual 
 representation of their experience of pain intended to provoke 
 conversation and promote understanding the wide variety of experiences 
 people have with chronic pain." See chronicpainproject.org for more 
 details.\n\nThe ride isn't officially a loop\, but if you stick around for
  a bit (check out the art\, and maybe the farmers' market: 
 vancouverfarmersmarket.org/downtown-market) we'll ride back as a group. 
 Departure time from Vancouver TBD\, but likely around 3:00pm. Directions 
 also gladly given back to the start or to the MAX if you want to leave 
 earlier. When we get back to Portland there might be a bonus stop at the 
 also–recently reopened Albina branch\; TBD.\n\nLook for future rides in 
 this series to libraries in Milwaukie (Clackamas County\, LINCC) and 
 Beaverton (Washington County\, WCCLS)\, dates TBD.\nMeet at noon\, ride at
  12:15\nEnds at Vancouver Community Library\, 901 C St\, Vancouver\, WA
