Reporting Statistics
Our co-sponsors, the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation and the Vermont Division for Historic Preservation State-Owned Historic Sites Program request circulation statistics at the end of each season. In addition to informing and bolstering this program, these statistics may also encourage other state agencies to participate in additional or new initiatives with Vermont libraries. All participating libraries are required to submit their pass circulation statistics:

The State Park and Historic Site Passes Program allows library patrons to check-out passes directly from their local library. These passes allow for free admission of one car holding up to eight people into a Vermont State Park or Vermont Historical Site.
Vermont's local public libraries receive one State Park pass and two State Historic Site passes in the spring. Academic libraries are provided with one State Historic Site pass. This program is jointly sponsored the Department of Libraries, the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation and the Vermont Division for Historic Preservation State-Owned Historic Sites Program. NEW this year, all passes feature a new evergreen design developed specifically for Vermont’s public libraries, so remember at the season’s close to store them for retrieval next spring!
Additional Passes
Libraries may purchase additional State Parks passes at a discounted rate by calling 1-888-409-7579 and Historic Site passes at a discounted rate by calling 1-802-828-3540.
Damaged Passes
If a pass has been damaged or lost by the library an additional replacement pass can be requested from the Department. Please note that our replacement pass quantities are limited. The damaged pass should be destroyed. If a library patron has borrowed and not returned a pass, libraries should follow their policies for billing and replacement.
Sample Policy
The Department of Libraries has provided a sample policy to fill out and use when drafting library policy.
