Nature Backpacks

Get outside and explore with one of the Bolton Public Library's Nature Backpacks! Each clear backpack includes an informational book and a set of kid-friendly tools to help young explorers learn through play. Stop by the Children's Room to borrow any backpack for 3 weeks. Backpacks must be returned in person during the Bolton Public Library's operating hours and cannot be shipped to surrounding libraries.
