Did you know that most libraries participate in programs that allow you to “check out” an educational pass to places like museums, state sponsored parks, and wildlife centers for free? Today I visited the NC Arboretum—had access to all of the trails and exhibits—and took home a plant from their wildly inexpensive greenhouse!

The Arboretum usually costs $20/vehicle—but with a zoom pass the visit was free! Check out your local library to see what programs they participate in! The library is an important part of the community—please sign up for a library card and support your local book peddlers because reading is sexy 💕
