Limited to one State Park Pass checkout every six months per cardholder; each library system sets its own additional rules. Some libraries also lend "Geaux Explore" backpacks (binoculars, compass, magnifying glass, field guides).
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.
