Get Outdoors SFPL!

Spend more time outside this year by joining the Smiths Falls Public Library “Get Outdoors Club”!
Just follow us on our social media platforms, or check out this page! In the future we hope to host in person programs that will require registration such as hiking, nature crafts, gardening, and more. For now we will be posting fun activities you can do by yourself or in small groups. All ages welcome!

Get Outdoors and Camp Out!

Camping is the ultimate outdoors activity and a favourite pastime of many Canadians. This month we have instructions for making your own campfire starter, campfire story stones, and more fun activities to do on your next camping trip!
TIP: Can’t camp overnight? Borrow an Ontario Parks 2021 Commercial Vehicle Permit for FREE from the library to enjoy some of the camping experience in a day trip, like hiking, swimming, fishing and canoeing. A pass entitles one vehicle to enter select provincial parks for free, valid until posted hours of closing. Visit our page on Museum and Parks Passes for more information.
