The Department of Natural Resources and the Library of Michigan have teamed up once again to offer their popular Park & Read program at more than 400 participating libraries across the state, inluding and .
The program, now in its fourth year, offers library cardholders the option of checking out a one-day pass that waives the Recreation Passport entry fee into any of Michigan's 101 state parks and recreation areas. The pass is valid for one week.
The one-day pass, a $10 savings, also provides free, one-time access to any of the more than 500 events scheduled to take place within the state parks throughout the summer. Passes are valid for seven days from checkout and are good for day use only. Park & Read runs through Oct. 1.
Many participating parks even offer hammocks for loan. Set up under a shady tree and read, snooze or watch the clouds drift by.
The Park & Read pass is also valid at any of the 11 museums or historic sites within the Michigan Historical Museum system. These engaging places focus on themes in Michigan history, so why not learn about Michigan's fascinating history through your local library and then live it by visiting one of our great museums or historic sites? The Park & Read pass is good for four admissions to the referenced museums and historic sites.
