Thanks to the overwhelming support it has received since its introduction in 2008, the "Get Outdoors Georgia" campaign's ParkPass program has been renewed for a third year. (Well, as far as we know, it hasn't been cut from any budget!)
A joint initiative of the Georgia Public Library Service and the Parks, Recreation and Historic Sites Division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, the program will enable Georgia's public libraries to continue making it easy for patrons to enjoy the great outdoors in 2010. (So, you'll have a good excuse to go look for Spring!)
With a valid library card (amazing how many things you can do with this little card!) from a participating library system (and that means ours, PINES), patrons can borrow Georgia State ParkPasses and Historic Site passes from their local libraries.
Here are some of the places you can visit:
* Military - Jefferson Davis Memorial (Fitzgerald), Fort King George (Darien), and Fort Morris (Midway).
* Plantations - Hofwyl-Broadfield Plantation (Brunswick) and Jarrell Plantation (Juliette).
* Unique Homes - Roosevelt's Little White House (Warm Springs), Robert Toombs House (Washington), and Wormsloe (Savannah).
* Parks - Crooked River (St. Marys), F. D. Roosevelt (Pine Mountain), General Coffee (Nicholls), Kolomoki Mounds (Blakely), and Reed Bingham (Adel).
The passes are good for free parking or admission at more than 60 attractions across the state.
Ask at the Circulation Desk for a ParkPass folder. It can be checked out with your library card.
Get out and go look for Spring!
