We're thrilled to announce the newest additions to our Library of Things: Telescopes, and Bird Watching Kits!
Having a hard time thinking of fun things to do this winter? Why not give stargazing a try with our new Telescope Kits!
Will full moons, meteor showers, super moons, billions of stars, and so much more, there’s plenty to see in our beautiful night sky. See beyond what can be seen with the naked eye and start your adventure into astronomy! Check out a Telescope Kit from the library to explore the skies.
Want to remember your discoveries even after you’ve returned the Telescope to the library? Our kits even come with a smartphone adapter to allow you to take pictures of your findings.
You can borrow the Telescope Kits easily by placing them on hold, and selecting your preferred Barrie Public Library location for pickup.
So what are you waiting for? Place your holds today!

Each Birdwatching Kit includes a variety of helpful items, including a book for bird identification, a pocket guide for quick reference, a pair of binoculars, and more!
