Books on BART
A lot of people like to read books on BART. If you happen to be a Contra Costa County library card holder and use the El Cerrito del Norte BART Station, it's about to get easier to get your hands on reading material!
BART and the Contra Costa County Library will launch the newest “Library-a-Go-Go” book lending machine at El Cerrito del Norte Station on Tuesday, June 16. BART was the first transit system in the country to offer this service when it opened the initial Library a-Go-Go at the Pittsburg/Bay Point Station in May 2008. Anyone with a Contra Costa County Library card will be able to check out and return books. If you don't already have a library card, Contra Costa County Library staff will be available at the station on Tuesday to register new library card holders. This is the third of four Library-a-Go-Go installations in Contra Costa County. The other locations include a site in Byron/Discovery Bay and a future installation at the transit village at the BART station in Pleasant Hill.
