WHAT IS THE
GEAR LIBRARY??
Like a traditional Library, the Gear Library is a place that let’s anyone borrow outdoor recreational gear!
Whether you are new to biking, just need to borrow a bike or want to try a new genre of biking, or simply forgot a piece of hiking equipment, the Gear Library is always accessible for you to get the gear you need.
Operated by grant funding and volunteers, the Gear Library provides gear through donations, but you always have the option to check out anything at no cost and no credit card needed!
The Gear Library is a non-profit managed by Bike The North Country and Bethlehem Trails Association. All donations are tax deductible and go towards maintaining or buying new gear!
