Did you know.........
That the library has state park passes that can be checked out?

The Department of Natural Resources is collaborating with public libraries across the state to provide free seven-day state park passes for checkout. The goal of this program is to provide a way for Minnesotans to visit state parks without the financial barrier of an entry fee.

Passes must be checked out in-person from the library and can be put on hold. Feel free to drop by or give us a call with questions about state park passes!
