[Michlib-l] National Park Service Withdraws From Michigan Activity Pass Program

[Jim Flury]

All,

The National Park Service has elected to withdraw from the Michigan Activity Pass program. Therefore, effective at 7:00 a.m. today, Friday, August 26 I have removed the seven NPS sites from the Michigan Activity Pass website. Library patrons may no longer print new MAP passes for Isle Royale National Park, Keweenaw National Historical Park, MotorCities National Heritage Area, North Country National Scenic Trail, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, River Raisin National Battlefield, and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. MAP passes for these seven venues that are redeemed ONLY under the terms spelled out in the National Park Service Every Kid In a Park program https://www.everykidinapark.gov/ will continue to be honored until the expiration date on the printed MAP pass. Since the MAP software allows passes to be printed 14 days in advance, library patrons may have in their possession MAP passes with expiration dates up until and including, September 9. NPS retains the right to decline the MAP pass at any of its seven Michigan venues that is not redeemed according to the terms and conditions spelled out at https://www.everykidinapark.gov/

We will work to remove the NPS and EKIP logos from the MAP website, as well as from the advanced search function.

TLN would like to thank the National Park Service, via the Every Kid In a Park program, for its partnership with the Michigan Activity Pass program.

Sincerely,

Jim Flury
