The Maine State Library is again partnering with Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry to provide a special day of free admission to participating state parks for library card holders! Next Saturday, April 25, simply show your Maine library card at the entrance of any participating Maine state park and enjoy a day outdoors at no cost.

Visitors are encouraged to bring a favorite book, find a shady spot, and enjoy some quiet reading time surrounded by Maine's natural beauty. Whether it's a novel at Crescent Beach State Park, poetry under a pine at Lamoine State Park, or a field guide on a trail atop Bradbury Mountain State Park, the day is a celebration of learning, relaxation, and connection.

To explore Maine State Parks, including maps and locations, visit parksandlands.com . Free admission applies to day-use at Maine State Parks and Historic Sites on Saturday, April 25, from 9:00 a.m. until closing.

Please spread the word in your community! Find more info and print out flyers found here to display: maine-msl.libguides.com/outdoors
