Lynchburg Public Library

Nature Backpacks and More

Did you know that you can check out more than just books and DVDs from the library? That’s right! We have other fun things you can check out that will help you explore your world.

Nature Backpacks

Each backpack comes with nature guides to animals and plants, a magnifying glass, discovery activities, port-a-bug field observation container and a parking pass/free entrance to Virginia state parks. Backpacks can be placed on hold, but can only be checked out at the Main Library. Enjoy two weeks of park exploration with the backpack. You must have a Lynchburg card and be over 18 to check out a nature backpack.

 

Telescope

Get a close up look at the constellations, planets, and meteors for two weeks when you check out our telescope. You must be over 18 years old and have a Lynchburg, Bedford County, or Campbell County card to check it out. The telescope can only be checked out from Lynchburg Main Library. Bedford and Campbell Counties also have telescopes that can be checked out from their respective locations.
