What is the Real Florida Reader Day Pass?

The Florida Department of State’s Division of Library and Information Services has partnered with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Florida State Parks for the Real Florida Reader program.

This program allows Floridians to use their public library card to check out a Real Florida Reader day pass, which provides free admission to state parks for one vehicle (up to eight people) at any Florida State Park (excluding Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife, Skyway Pier, and Weeki Wachee Springs state parks). This program runs through September 12, 2022.

How to check out a Real Florida Reader Day Pass:
