Library Card + Michigan State Park = Reading in the Great Outdoors

That library card in your wallet is worth a free pass to a state park this year

in Michigan until September 25, 2009. Check with your local library to see if they

have signed up for this free state park program. There are also free

hammocks as long as supply lasts.

I would love to take a good book to the beach and read for a few hours

with the waves lapping, and my hammock swaying in the breeze. In fact,

I have a new mystery thriller that probably need to be read in the open air,

a lot less scary. When my imagination and the plot thickens, I can look up

and see a serene scene to bring me back to reality.
