Take a picture of yourself with your bike for your commute to or from work and Tweet it at @libwardrobe (or submit the photo here) from now until Friday, May 10th to be included in a sweet collage of librarians-who-bike-to-work!

Academic Outreach Librarian for the Social Sciences, Academic Library, Waltham, Massachusetts (purple dress)
My fiance (who has worked as a library assistant while in school) and I took our engagement photos at the Boston Public Library.
