Have you heard the wonderful news?

Last month, Governor Gavin Newsom signed AB 1804 into law, permanently codifying the California State Library Parks Pass program. This means library cardholders across California can continue to enjoy free access to more than 200 participating California state parks!

Visit the Check Out Desk on the First Floor to find out how you can check out a pass today!

Photo credit goes to the awesome patron who checked out the Pass + Backpack bundle and sent us these beautiful shots from California State Park beaches up north!
