Free Day at #MaineStateParks for #LibraryCard Holders on April 25, 2026
April 14, 2026
Augusta, Maine - "April 19-25, 2026 is #NationalLibraryWeek, and thanks to a proclamation by Governor #JanetMills, it is also officially #MaineLibraryMonth. To mark the occasion, the #MaineStateLibrary and Maine State Parks are partnering to offer a special day of free admission to participating state parks.
"On Saturday, April 25, simply show your Maine library card at the entrance of any participating Maine state park and enjoy a day outdoors at no cost.
" 'This collaboration is a perfect way to highlight the value of libraries and the exceptional outdoor values of Maine's State Parks,' said Andy Cutko, #MaineDACF Bureau of Parks and Lands Director. 'Libraries open your mind to the world of literature, and on April 25, your library card is also a ticket to the #outdoors.'
" 'Maine State Library is delighted to partner with Maine State Parks for Maine Library Month,' said Lori Stockman, Maine State Librarian. 'With spring upon us, providing free admission to many Maine State Parks on April 25th is a natural extension of the types of services and resources that our public libraries provide regularly to their communities.'
"Visitors are encouraged to bring a favorite book, find a shady spot, and enjoy some quiet reading time surrounded by Maines natural beauty. Whether it's a novel at #CrescentBeachStatePark, poetry under a pine at #LamoineStatePark, or a field guide on a trail atop #BradburyMountainStatePark, the day is a celebration of learning, relaxation, and connection.

#Maine - #Hawkwatch on Bradbury Mountain: Daily through May 15
"Watch the spring migration of hawks from the top of #BradburyMountain beginning March 15, from 9 AM to 5 PM daily through May 15. Hawk Counters will share the joys of hawk watching as they make their observations and record species information. #HawkCounter Zane Baker is returning for his record 7th season! The Hawkwatch was initiated by Jeannette and Derek Lovitch in 2007 to quantify the extent and duration of the northbound raptor flight over Bradbury Mountain State Park. Daily counts of all raptor and vulture species are posted at the summit, submitted to the Hawk Migration Association of North America, and posted to the BIRDHAWK Listserv. For a quick but steep hike take the Summit Trail. For a 1-mile gentle ascent to the summit take the Northern Loop Trail." - Chris Silsbee, Manager of Bradbury Mt. State Park
