LIBRARY CORNER
Join the Commuter Challenge
By IMAGINEIF LIBRARIES
Throughout the month of May, ImagineIF Libraries is challenging workers across the Flathead to get to work by foot, bike or bus. Get active while you get to work.
The Montana Commuter Challenge will be happening around the state, with local challenges hosted in several cities and communities. There is no cost to participate. At the end of May, every participant’s trips will be tallied and workplaces ranked. Winners get prizes.
Learn more at www. imagineiflibraries.org/ mtcommuterchallenge.Registration and tracking will take place at www.mtcommuterchallenge.org. If someone from your workplace has
already signed up, join your team. If not, create the team and you become the captain.
Prizes and promotions in the Flathead include an individual grand prize of a bicycle donated by MAS Bikes in Kalispell. In addition, MAS Bikes will be offering free bike safety checks for all participants during the challenge. Additional prizes and promotions will be added to the ImagineIF web page as the challenge progresses.
ImagineIF Libraries will be sharing Commuter Challenge experiences on Instagram and Facebook. Share your own with the tags #flatheadcommuterchallenge and #mtcommuterchallenge.
