for up to 7 days. The ParkPass exempts you from paying the daily
parking fee at state parks and the Historic Sites Visitors Pass exempts
one visitor from admission fees to any state historic site in the state.
A copy of the Guide to Georgia State Parks & Historic Sites featuring descriptions, photos, directions and a map of all locations is included.

Downloadable
audiobooks are now available for library patrons to download for free.
A consortium of Georgia libraries has selected a custom collection of
audiobooks for our patrons. This service, "Georgia Download
Destination," is hosted by OverDrive. OverDrive Audiobooks can be
downloaded to your PC or Mac, burned to a CD (when allowed by the
publisher), or transferred to a supported portable device.
This service will be available 24 hours, seven days a week for patrons
to download titles from home using their PINES library card and pin
number. Patrons cannot download audiobooks at the Library. However, staff will be available to assist with questions related to this service.
This service was made possible in part by the Friends of the Athens-Clarke County Library.
