State parks waive fees for library patrons

You can get into any Florida State Park for free this weekend as long as you have a library card or are willing to donate a book. September is Adult and Family Literacy Month and as part of the celebration the Florida Park Service will offer free day-use entry passes to state parks on Friday, September 11, through Sunday, September 13, with the presentation of a library card, library book or the donation of a new or gently used family friendly book. The offer is valid at all of Florida’s 160 state parks. There are also a number of literacy related events going on at area state parks this weekend. On Saturday, September 12th the Eastpoint Public Library will be at the St George Island State Park for an educational workshop event for Kindergarten through 4th graders from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. On Saturday at 11 AM you can also bring your kids to Ochlocknee River State Park to read a story with a Ranger.
