state parks or recreation areas. The program runs from around Memorial Day through October 1. Passes are valid for seven days from check-out and can be redeemed for one resident daily motor vehicle permit. The Library has a limited number of passes available on a first-come basis.  Established in 1919, Michigan's state parks system maintains 98 parks and
recreation areas covering 285,000 acres. There are 13,500 campsites in 142
