RESPECT librarian Ednita Kelly of San Pedro won funding for her Book Bike from the Library 'Ideas' fund in July 2014.


Ednita was inspired to combine her love for cycling and her passion for the local community to promote the library and its services at neighborhood events across Los Angeles.

The 36-year-old Carson native has spent the past decade working in a library, not in tech, so heads turned when Eric Garcetti declared her the 2015 recipient of the Mayor’s Civic Innovation Award late last year for developing, designing, and deploying a signature Book Bike, a human powered tool for library outreach.

City Hall recognized Kelly for launching the Book Bike, a custom-built, book-toting three-wheeler she rides near the San Pedro branch where she works, issuing library cards and handing out free books and magazines on the go.
