CHECK OUT YOUR COMMUNITY

at Calvert Library

 

Once upon a time, “there’s nothing to do” was a regular complaint from families in Calvert County.  This is no longer the case.  There are so many options for amazing learning, exploring, and lively entertainment that it’s hard to know where to start your weekend or summer vacation.  Calvert Library wants to help you discover these wonderful opportunities through their new initiative Check Out Your Community.  Thanks to the generous partnerships of area businesses and organizations, beginning June 2, you can check out free passes to various pools, parks, museums and other facilities.  Cove Point Park Pool, Edward T. Hall Aquatic Center, Calvert Marine Museum, Chesapeake Beach Waterpark, and Paddle or Pedal are just a few of the organizations participating in this exciting new program.   

 

Check out the program online at calvert.lib.md.us to find additional organizations who are contributing free passes or discounts through Check Out Your Community. Passes and discounts will be available for printing using an online reservation system created by Plymouth Rocket.  There will be some limitation to the number of passes you can check out over a certain period of time so that as many people as possible can benefit from the opportunity.

 

Calvert Library is committed to community-building and expects Check Out Your Community to connect Calvert citizens to enjoyable and intriguing experiences in our local area.  Library Director Carrie Plymire said, “so often we forget to explore and take advantage of things in our own backyards!  I hope this program helps families get out and play together this summer while saving money, helps grandparents with ideas of where to take the grandkids, and helps our local businesses and organizations market their terrific offerings more widely.”

 

Visit any Calvert Library location or online at calvert.lib.md.us for details.  Calvert Library is looking to add to its "Check Out Your Community" initiative; business owners and community partners interested in participating are encouraged to contact Colleen Cano, Calvert Library Southern Branch Manager, at ccano@somd.lib.md.us.
