These services were made possible by the Friends of the Northville District Library and the Community Financial Credit Union Summer of Sharing Donation.  

Bike Fixit Station includes all the tools necessary to perform basic bike repairs and maintenance, from changing a flat to adjusting brakes and derailleurs. Hanging the bike from the hanger arms allows the pedals and wheels to spin freely while making adjustments. Swing by the library for a tune-up, and then hop on Hines for a ride!
