to announce the "Park & Read" program.
Park & Read allows library-card holders the ability to "check-out" (from the
library) a one-day pass into any Michigan state park or recreation area in
lieu of the resident daily motor vehicle permit. This is a $6 savings and free
access to the more than 500 events taking place in local parks this summer.
Plus, many parks will have a hammock available for Park & Read participants
to borrow while on-site for the day so they can fully enjoy a great book in
Michigan's great outdoors.
"We want everyone in Michigan to know what a fantastic resource their local
park can be," says Maia Stephens, Recreation Programmer for the DNR. "Because
the program is free, everyone can now enjoy all the free activities available in
Michigan State Parks and Recreation Areas. Besides, what's more relaxing than a
day at the beach with a good book?"
Passes are valid for seven days from check-out and can be used for one day at
any one of Michigan's state parks. Hammocks are subject to availability.
