Oct. 6, 2026: Exploring a first-of-its-kind library where you can check out both books and nature

Today, we visit a library where you don't just check out books, you check out nature. The new Anythink Nature Library is touted as the first of its kind in the nation. The $43 million, 33,000 square foot facility sits on 15 acres in Adams County adjacent to the 140 acre Aylor Open Space and includes trails, gardens, and even a mud pit. Chandra Thomas Whitfield spoke with Mark Fink, executive director of Anythink Libraries. She was joined by Manny Almonte, founder of "Camping to Connect" and some of its young participants for a special tour.
