Seasonal notesStanding flags from collection (official sources): the statewide Check Out Colorado State Parks program (CPW + Colorado State Library) places a state-park pass backpack in every Colorado public library - 7-day checkout, one vehicle + passengers, no discounts beyond entry - but Durango Public Library's own City pages do NOT publish a local pass page, local loan period, or reservation rule, and NO Durango library museum-pass program was confirmed. Do not present a local museum pass as existing.
