The Craftsbury Public Library fleet of 4 folding kayaks will be back on the water starting June 2. Designed to fold into a small space, these kayaks are easily transportable in any vehicle. These kayaks are available for checkout (at no cost) to adult patrons in good standing, who have signed a liability release, and learned how to assemble them.

There are two ways to learn how to assemble the kayaks. The Tucktec website has an assembly video which is linked in the library catalog records for the kayaks, or via the QR code on the kayak itself. Patrons can also try them out in person at the upcoming launch party at Little Hosmer.

Join us between 4-6pm at Little Hosmer boat launch on June 2 to see the kayaks, learn how to fold them, sign the liability release forms, and try them out on the lake. We will have four Tucktec kayaks, paddles, and life vests available to use at the launch party. The kayaks are only intended for lake use, and are not suitable for river kayaking.

Two of these folding kayaks were purchased through the generous support of Concept 2, and an additional two kayaks were donated to the library directly from the company. For more information, contact the library at 802-586-9683 or director@craftsburypubliclibrary.org.
