How do I check out a backpack?
Checking out a book backpack:
It’s simple! The book backpacks can be found at the children’s desk, on the lower floor of the library. Ask one of the children’s librarians to check out a backpack, and they can scan out the bag, just like a book!
If you have any questions about the contents, or about how to use the bag, check out the descriptions on the swampscott library website or ask a librarian.
Remember, the backpacks must be returned within 2 weeks of checking them out, so watch your calendar!
