Have I got a deal for you at Zoo Atlanta!

      Do you know that Georgia families can now check out free excursions to Zoo Atlanta, just by owning a library card?  Did you hear what I said?  JUST BY OWNING A LIBRARY CARD!
     A new partnership between Zoo Atlanta and the Georgia Public Library Service allows adults with valid library cards access to the Zoo Atlanta Family Pass at any participating public library branch throughout the state of Georgia.
     Dr. Lamar Veatch, Georgia's State Librarian, said, "This wonderful collaboration between Zoo Atlanta and Georgia's public libraries brings a new dimention to our service.  We're very pleased to play a role in bringing this Georgia treasure to all corners of our state."
     One Zoo Atlanta Family Pass is available for checkout in each participating public library.  The pass may be checked out once per year, per card, per household, and is valid for two adults and up to two children, ages 3 to 11.  The pass is not valid for fee-based events or programs and may not be combined with other discounts or promotions.  Standard general admission will apply to families with additional children; children must be accompanied by an adult.
     So, you can check out the Zoo Atlanta DVD from our library and upon return, a library staff member will issue you a receipt you must present, with your library card, to gain free admittance to the Zoo.  Be sure to save the receipt; it is required for Zoo admission.  The pass is valid for 7 days from the date of the receipt showing the return of the DVD.
     There are so many amazing things you can do with your library card.  And this is one of them.  Plan your trip today and enjoy a vacation right here in Georgia.
