Bibliocrunch is teaming up with VIA’s ride-sharing service to give members two free rides to and from BEA. Now you have no excuse not to come and meet us!
Book Expo America is taking place this week in New York City and Bibliocrunch will be there! We are providing all our members free weekday rides to and from the Javits Center so you can come and see us there! But don’t worry. Even if you’re not attending the conference, you are still entitled to the two free rides. VIA is a New York City-based ride sharing service and will get you where you’re going.
