Book & A Blanket

One of our exhibit books catch your eye? Take it and enjoy a read outside! Guests are invited to check-out exhibit books at the front desk. Book check-out includes a blanket so you can curl up in a comfortable spot outside in Balboa Park. The Book and a Blanket program is free, but all borrowed materials must be returned to the Museum by 4:30 p.m.

To borrow a book, simply take the book to the front desk and let a Visitor Experience Associate know that you would like to check out a Book & a Blanket.
