We cannot check out kits to non-public libraries and institutions, but you can reach out to your local public library to collaborate and use these kits.

The number of kits you can check out at the same time depends on the type of kit. You can find more information about individual kits on the reservation page.

Outdoor bilingual book walks can be placed wherever you feel comfortable maintaining responsibility over them.
