Need a break? Consider a mini-vacation spent outdoors amid the natural beauty of Michigan’s state parks and recreation areas or exploring the stories and nostalgia of the museums and historic sites within the Michigan Historical Museum system - free passes are available at the St. Charles District Library compliments of the Library of Michigan.

The one-day pass (a $10 savings) also provides free, one-time access to any of the more than 500 events scheduled to take place within the state parks throughout the summer. Passes are valid for seven days from checkout and are good for day use only. Park & Read runs now through Oct. 1.

Many participating parks even offer hammocks for loan. Set up under a shady tree and read, snooze or watch the clouds drift by.
