PARKS PASS PROGRAM
The Alhambra Library has partnered with the California State Library in offering our library cardholders free vehicle day-use passes to over 200 participating state park units operated by the California State Parks and Nature Explorer Backpack Kits. The backpacks include a Parks Pass, a luggage tag, a pair of binoculars, an orienteering compass, a magnifying glass, a California Trees & Wildflowers pocket guide, a California Wildlife pocket guide, and two leaflets of parks information.
