A library card can get you free access to endless books and, now, to 27 Nevada state parks.

Launched this year, the Nevada State Parks Library Park Pass is available to cardholders, with a loan period of one week. The passes cover day-use entrance fees for one passenger vehicle with a capacity of up to eight people. They do not cover other state park fees such as boating or camping.

State parks in the Southern Nevada area include Valley of Fire, Spring Mountain Ranch and Old Las Vegas Mormon Fort, where day-use entrance fees range $3 to $15.

Available passes can be checked out at the information desk at all participating Nevada public libraries. More information is available at thelibrarydistrict.org/passes.
