Thanks to our partnership with Outdoor Chattanooga, we now offer the Adventure Library, a Beyond Books collection of camping and hiking gear for the whole family! Items listed below are available for checkout through the Downtown Library’s 4th Floor.

Library cardholders ages 18 and up can check out up to 3 Adventure items at a time for a one-week period. Signing a liability waiver is required prior to check-out.
