Park & Read

The Park & Read program offers free park passes for Michigan readers.

Park & Read allows 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 the more than 500 events taking place in state parks throughout the summer.

For those interested in toting along a library book for serious beach reading, many 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.

Passes are valid for seven days from check-out and can be used for one day at any one of Michigan’s nearly 100 state parks.

Passes are valid for day-use only; go to the Guest Services Desk for more information!
