There's so much nature right here in town and in the county so we've created two nature watching backpacks for patrons to borrow! Each backpack includes a pair of kid-friendly binoculars, several nature field guides and a map to local trails. Stop in to check it out! Here's an idea - bring it to Sickles Park where you can check out our latest StoryWalk®! See below for our latest book.
