Biblio Turismo

Biblio Turismo started nine years ago in 2006 as a means for librarians who rode motorbikes to meet each other and spread joy once a year. Rural librarians have used the ride to publicise their libraries, to network with city librarians and to share their stories.
At night the Bibliestas dine together and drink to each others good health and the pleasure of riding fast on two wheels.
We all pay our own way and raise no funds. Many of the crew have attend most if not all of the tours and   often only meet during the tour, in some cases although we have been riding for nine years we may have only seen each other nine times in those nine years.

If you want to join us next year we are planning on doing the Great Ocean Road. I encourage Victorian librarians to join us as we travel from Geelong to Portland and back. More details next year.
