STATE PARKS PASSES ARE HERE! |
|
Ready for a new adventure? We have great news! With your library card, you can now check out a free vehicle day-use pass to visit 200+ California State Parks.
Research shows that spending time in the outdoors is associated with better mental and physical health, and that many Californians face barriers to accessing their parks. This program is meant to help more Californians explore the outdoors and generate positive impacts in the area of health, natural resource stewardship, and historical and cultural connections.
The passes are in our online catalog for you to put a hold on and pick up at your local library. Each of these passes are good for 3 weeks and grant free entry for one motorcycle/passenger vehicle with capacity of nine people or less. Don't delay! Place a hold on a pass here (more passes are coming next week!). More info on the RCPL passes is here.
