The Explore Your World Backpack is a kit designed by UF/IFAS Extension Sarasota County in partnership with Sarasota County Libraries. These kits are designed to encourage explorers of all ages to observe, interact, and learn from the world around them.

Each backpack has the following:

  • Binoculars
  • Compass
  • Magnifying Glass
  • Night Sky Planisphere
  • Field Guides
  • Underwater Observation Boat
  • Nature Circle: Adventure Cards
  • "All the World" by Liz Garton Scanlon
  • "Heroes of the Environment" by Julie McLaughlin
  • Activity Guide

The backpacks can be checked out for 3 weeks, and you can also place holds and have the backpack sent to your library for pickup, just like you can for other items. Current availability for the backpacks can be found here in our online catalog. For help with placing holds, please click here
