ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A REASON TO GET OUT THIS SEASON?
Come to the New Berlin Public Library and Check Out a Wisconsin State Park Daily Pass – for FREE!
The Wisconsin State Park System requires that each vehicle pay for an admission pass to visit state parks, forests, and recreation areas. While this is pretty standard, as far as state park passes go, did you know you can get yours at the New Berlin Public Library Circulation desk – for free?
Whether this will be your first visit, or you are a frequent visitor of the Wisconsin State Park System, there is bound to be something new for you to do and discover.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) plans and schedules various events throughout the year for visitors to participate in. You can find our flyers highlighting some of the State Park System events in our lobby and on our website as well as a full listing of events and details available on the DNR website.
Not interested in any of the events going on right now? No problem! You can always explore the State Park System and take in what the season and the great outdoors have to offer on your own.
HOW DO I GET A FREE STATE PARK PASS?
- Visit the New Berlin Public Library Circulation Desk.
- Provide the date you will be using the pass.
- Have a motor vehicle with a Wisconsin license plate.
- Have a valid New Berlin Public Library card.
- Check out a book, movie, or Library of Things item.
Daily passes can be checked out for free at the New Berlin Public Library Circulation Desk. But, before you head out on the open road, we suggest you check out the State Park Pass display in our lobby, directly across from the Circulation Desk. Here you will find a curated collection of books to complement your State Park visit as well as outfitted backpacks ready for you to grab and take out on the trails.
THE BEST TRAVEL HACKS ARE THE FREE ONES!
Now that you have your free State Park Daily Pass in hand, are you mentally packing all of the things you need to bring along on your day away? Seasonal gear for excursions can be quite costly and quickly dwindle down your bank account.
You are in luck! We have one of the best travel hacks around – we have gear available for your excursions, to check out - for FREE.
Along with the free pass, you can peruse an abundance of items available for check-out in our Library of Things collection to add something extra to your day away.
Do you need a cooler? We have one for you! Could you use a backpack or trekking poles for your day out on the trails – we have those too! You will find snowshoes, bicycles, ice skates, outdoor games and chairs, and much much more.
Okay, now that you have decided on a destination and have your free pass, what items are you going to check out from our Library of Things for your day away?
