We’re gearing up for the annual Great Backyard Bird Count, so whether you're an amateur or an expert, we're inviting bird enthusiasts of all ages and levels of experience to join us at the library this February! Read on to learn more about upcoming birding programs, related resources, and some of our favorite titles about birds from the collection.

Attend programs throughout the month to learn about birding basics, citizen science, and how to support the local bird population. Then use your new skills and knowledge at any number of great birdwatching locations in the area, including the library! Swing by the Children’s desk at Varina, Tuckahoe, and Twin Hickory to check out binoculars to use at one of our special birding stations, complete with colorful bird guides for children. Or, check out one of our Birding Backpacks, equipped with binoculars, field guides, and activities, and head to your own backyard, a local park, or beyond!
