This is a joint venture of the library and the state park, which is located off of Riverview Road, about a ten minute drive from the James City County Library. A grant from the Friends of Williamsburg Regional Library funded the project. The park has also donated several items for the packs.

York River State Park covers over 2,505 acres and has 12 miles of hiking trails. It also has equestrian and bike trails, picnic shelters and offers fishing in Woodstock Pond, Taskinas Creek and the York River. The park’s estuarine environment supports a wide range of wildlife.

The backpacks will be housed at the James City County Library on Croaker Road. Patrons who wish to check them out from the Williamsburg Library on Scotland Street may do so by placing them on hold. Check-out time will be one week.
