7-day checkout with the option of 1 renewal; a patron/family may only check out a pass once every 6 months. Running since 2008 (GA State Parks + Georgia Public Library Service partnership).
Passes circulate like books: a limited number per branch, usually one checkout per household, with holds allowed and loan periods of one to three weeks. Summer weekends empty the shelf first — place a hold early. And remember the pass covers day-use entry only; camping is a separate booking and fee everywhere.
