(Planning a trip to a Georgia state park? Stop by the library's circulation desk and ask if a ParkPass is available. Thanks to a program from the state of Georgia, library patrons can check out a kit that includes a parking pass for Georgia state parks and a family pass for admission to Georgia's historic sites. The pass kits are, however, limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis (no holds allowed).)
