Kansas State Parks Library Program
Kansas State Parks has partnered with the Kansas Public Library System to provide free, daily vehicle permits to Kansas library patrons so that all Kansans can visit Kansas State Parks without the financial barrier of an entry fee.
The library has taken advantage of this opportunity and we have a stack of park passes ready to hand out to our patrons until they’re gone at no cost to you! Here’s a few things you need to know:
*stop by the library and ask for a Kansas State Parks vehicle permit
*each issued vehicle permit will be good for one day only, which will be written on the front of the permit
*park permits do not need to be returned to the library, they can simply be discarded once the patron is done using the permit or when the permit expires
*patrons using these daily vehicle permits are responsible for displaying the permit in their vehicle windshield when entering a Park

All You Need to Know About Ebooks *Updated*
The Kansas State Library offers digital book e-lending. There are hundreds of available titles for both children and adults. And all you need is a Kansas Library Card!
KIDS RESOURCES
BookFlix: Animated picture story books matched with a non-fiction book. Each book pair may also have 2-3 games/puzzles.
ADULT RESOURCES
3M Cloud Library: Contains larger publishers, so you’ll see bestsellers here. Mostly fiction, with some popular non-fiction. This works like your normal library, where if all copies of a book are checked out, you place a hold.
Enki: Includes self-published books in its catalog of small-medium publishers. It also has a great variety of both fiction and non-fiction. Cooking, crafts, and DIY have good selection. Since the catalog is large (about 40,000 books) and it is fairly new, holds are still uncommon.
Freading: All books are always available. Lots of variety in both fiction and non-fiction, there are even graphic novels. Smaller publishers, but the catalog has over 50,000 books in it and more are added at least once a week.
Britannica E-STAX: Non-fiction for kids, unlimited access.
