How do I borrow a hiking backpack from the library?

Enjoy your visit to local parks with a hiking backpack from the library. Backpacks check out for one week and can be renewed.

You can check out a backpack from any of our branches. They're not holdable, but you can check current availability in the library catalog:

Backpacks must be returned to the library where they were checked out.

Each backpack includes:

  • Binoculars
  • Hiking poles
  • CA State park pass
  • Pocket guide: CA Wildlife

  • Microscope
  • Flashlight
  • Horn
