The bike rack is directly in front of the parking lot attendant. Park there and you should be good. If you drive, be wary of parking on that back streets. I use the attached garage and it's just $5.50 validated.
Yes there are bike racks around the area. In the parking garage or up closer to the Barnes and Noble. Be careful with leaving items in your vehicles anywhere in the surrounding area. Cars do get broken into in the back of the building on Shakespeare street.
