Borrow a Birding Backpack!
Are you interested in birdwatching but don’t know where to start? The Library has been given a great resource by the Adirondack Land Trust as part of their Adirondack Birding for All program. The birding backpack, available to borrow from the Library, includes high-quality binoculars and two bird guides: the Sibley Guide to Birds of Eastern North America and Adirondack Birding, as well as helpful information on how to use binoculars. The Land Trust created the Adirondack Birding for All program to increase awareness and appreciation of Adirondack birds and their habitats.
Call, e-mail, or visit the Library to reserve the birding backpack and get out and start birding!
