Check out a free state park pass at the Litchfield Public Library! These seven-day passes cover the vehicle entrance fee to any state park or recreation area in Minnesota, making it easy to spend time outdoors and see nature at any time of year. To check out a pass, visit the Litchfield Library and ask a staff member at the front desk. If one is available in the library system, you’ll be issued a 7-day vehicle pass, no library card needed. Passes cannot be reserved in advance. A limited number of passes are available each week in Pioneerland Library System.

Your state park pass should be clearly displayed on your vehicle’s dashboard. If you would like to camp, you will need to make and pay for reservations separately. When you are done exploring with your pass, just recycle it!

State park passes are provided through the Minnesota State Parks Library Program, a collaboration between our library and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Learn more about the state parks library program at mndnr.gov/librarypass

Take a look at what participants in the October and November Adults Arts & Crafts programs made!

The Litchfield Public Library was originally a Carnegie Library. Although the library is now in a new building, that history is reflected in the painting of the original library in the lobby, and the Carnegie meeting room. Across the street, you can read about the history of the library on a bench installed by the Downtown Council.
