PARK AND READ PROGRAM
Enjoy a Great Book in the Great Outdoors!
Back for a second summer, the DNRE, Department of Natural Resources and Environment, and the Library of Michigan are again offering Park & Read at more than 400 libraries across Michigan like the Pigeon District Library.
Park & Read allows Pigeon District Library card-holders the ability to “check-out” a one-day pass into any Michigan state park or recreation area in lieu of the resident daily motor vehicle permit. This $6 savings also provides free access to more than 500 events taking place in state parks throughout the summer.
For those interested in bringing along a library book for serious beach reading, 71 of the state parks have hammocks available for Park & Read users to borrow while on-site for the day so they can fully enjoy a great book in Michigan’s great outdoors. For more information about Park & Read, please inquire at the library’s circulation desk.
