Check Out Nature Backpacks
Check Out Nature Backpacks are a jump-start to getting into nearby nature. The packs can be borrowed from the library like a book and include field guides, activity books, binoculars, bug kits, a water bottle, first aid kit, compass, and more. The packs can be borrowed at seven participating branches or by placing a reserve request to have one delivered to another San Diego Public Library location.
