Get Out & Explore!


The new Get Out & Explore kits encourage library users to go outside and experience nature in any of the fantastic State Parks in Santa Cruz County (and beyond). The kits focus either on the mountain or beach parks, and each comes with a California State Park Day Pass, nature guides, a map, and equipment to help enjoy the natural world through physical adventuring. 

Must be 18 years and older with a valid SCPL library card to borrow a Get Out & Explore kit.
