Vermont public libraries are now circulating free day-use passes to Vermont State Parks.

Under "Check Out the Parks", each public library has been given a one day pass that can be checked out for free admission to a state park. The passes are good at any of the state’s day-use parks and admit up to eight people traveling together in the same vehicle. Each library determines how long each pass may be checked out. Some libraries are choosing to purchase additional passes.

The program is co-sponsored by the Vermont Department of Libraries and the Department of Forests, Parks, & Recreation.
