Hiking and Camping Equipment to Borrow!

Not only does the library have guidebooks and hiking maps you can check out, we  also have equipment! Equipment can be booked for specific dates, so no need to wonder if it will be available when you need it. Booking periods are 1 week by default but can be adjusted. Borrowers will need to abide by and sign our Camping and Hiking Equipment Borrowing Agreement and Guidelines form.

The items are available thanks to a grant from the Mid-Hudson Chapter of the Adirondack Mountain Club.
