As the season heats up, we'd like to remind our Wyoming residents of our "Check out WYO Parks" program! You can visit your county's library to check out a day use pass or a youth backpack for exploration - just like you check out a book!

Adventure is waiting… and you can check it out!

The WYO Parks Backpacks are now available for checkout in the Youth Library at the Lincoln County Library!

These fun, ready-to-go packs are perfect for getting kids (and families!) outside and exploring Wyoming’s incredible parks and trails.

Each backpack includes:

Magnifying glass
Compass keychain
Binoculars
Informational pamphlets
Scavenger hunt activity
Mini backpack to carry it all

Whether you're heading out for a family hike or just looking for a new way to explore nature, this is an easy (and FREE!) way to make it an adventure

Stop by the Youth Library and check one out for your next outing!
