Did you know that the Library has a wide range of video games and board games to lend and they’re all free! Board games offer players more than just fun, recreational outlets. Studies show that these activities help to relieve stress, improve brain function, stimulate the mind, boost creativity, increase attention spans, and improve social skills. It doesn’t stop there, the Library also checks out video games for a wide variety of game consoles.

Additionally, as a part of a partnership through the California State Library and the State Parks, the library now offers Parks Passes. The Parks Pass can be checked out and allows for free vehicle day-use entry to over 200 participating state park units operated by the State Parks to library-card holders in good standing.

California State Parks Pass

About California State Parks Pass Program

Through a partnership with California State Parks, the California State Library Parks Pass program has provided library jurisdictions with vehicle day use passes for circulation. The passes are valid at over 200 parks for one car’s access and are a physical hangtag.

Research shows that spending time in green space such as parks is associated with better mental and physical health measures. For more information on the California State Parks Pass program, please visit the California State Library website or check out their FAQ.
