Thank You Douglas Library in Hebron!

On our last trip to the library, we learned that as card holders we are eligible to receive free and discounted passes to 21 museums, parks and zoos in Connecticut and Rhode Island. We took advantage of the program on Saturday and visited the Connecticut Trolley Museum in Windsor Locks.

Regular adult admission is $8, and $5 for kids. We saved $21! (And then spent $7 at Dairy Cream for our first ice cream of the season!)

Other great destinations that we will be taking advantage of this year will be the Connecticut River Museum, Dinosaur State Park, the Mark Twain House, Mystic Aquarium and the Roger Williams Zoo!

Many thanks to "Friends of the Library" a local group that makes this program possible for library card holders!

Sounds like you had a fun day. Our library does the same, but we've yet to take advantage of it. They have them for free parking at the state parks and beaches, too, so we'll definitely be grabbing those this summer!

...looks like a fun day for your family. I wonder if our libraries do that? I'll have to look into it...

Liz-yes it was, F.R.E.E. Most every museum is--except for Mystic Aquarium and the Roger Williams Zoo which are discounts.
