You already know that your Georgia library card opens up the door to (literally) millions of library materials, from books to language services to Google Career Certificates and beyond. But did you know that a Georgia library card could also help you check out… experiences? It’s true!
With your free library card, you can check out passes for free entry to Georgia State Parks & Historic Sites, theatre shows, attractions & more.
In fact, according to the Georgia Public Library Service,
If a group of four uses all of the Experience Passes, they would save more than $1,100 on admissions, tickets, and parking.
That’s a pretty good deal. Keep scrolling to see what the library offers!
