We're starting on a brand new Library of Things for Outdoor activities here at the Friendship Free Library, so stay tuned over the next few weeks! We have lots of fun surprises in store.

First UP: Birds!

Thanks to the Department of Environmental Conservation, we have two birding backpacks all ready for you to check out! They include binoculars, guidebooks, maps, and more! ;D

Now, get out there and Bird Bird Bird!!

Are you looking for a little peaceful moment? Tree.fm lets you listen to random forests from around the world! Check it out!

People around the world recorded the sounds of their forests, so you can escape into nature, while in lockdown or unable to travel. Use this site to chill, meditate or do some digital shinrin-yoku.
