Experience Passes Marketing Toolkit
Through strategic partnerships with organizations across the state, Georgia’s public libraries provide residents with educational and recreational opportunities to spend time together while saving money. Georgia Public Library Service partnership programs are available through all public libraries in Georgia.
Library Partnership Programs include exhibits, reading challenges, and other special library programming, including Experience Passes. Patrons can use their library card to check out Experience Passes for free entry to places like Zoo Atlanta, Georgia State Parks & Historic Sites, the Center for Puppetry Arts and more.
Here is the GPLS public-facing web page about Experience Passes. This is the GPLS web page for library staff who have questions or need more information about Strategic Partnerships or Experience Passes.
For details about partnerships and passes, review the Strategic Partnerships Guide for Library Staff. Library staff can also contact Dustin Landrum, director of Strategic Partnerships.
Use this toolkit with marketing messages, graphics, and materials to promote Experience Passes at your library and in your community.
