Lending park passes at SK Libraries
Park pass are available to people on a seven-day loan to any of the 100 Saskatchewan parks. Passes allow users free entrance into the parks.
In a joint media release, the Saskatchewan Library Association (SLA) and the Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association (SPRA), and Saskatchewan Regional Parks Association (SRPA) announced that from May 18th to September 15th, people with a library card can borrow a Park pass from any Saskatchewan library.
The pass entitles people to a seven-day loan to any of the 100 regional parks. Passes waiveusers free entrance into the parks.
This is the second year of the program.
During last year’s pilot project, they distributed 800 passes circulated to only those library branches that participated in the program. 1200 passes will be available this year at all regional library branches in Saskatoon, Prince Albert, Regina and the two university libraries.
The passes are indistinguishable from purchased park passes. “Passes must be borrowed in person and are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Library customers are encouraged to contact their local branch to ensure availability,” said the press release.
