Looking to take up a new hobby? We’ve got a variety of Adventure backpacks available for check-out. These packs include a number of items to help you explore a new hobby, be it Rocks & Minerals or Tree Identification.

The packs are located at the circulation desk and a staff member will be happy to walk you through the contents and explain how you can use it to take up a new outdoor activity. These packs are designed for adults, though they can be used with older children with supervision.
