Free Access to NY State Parks and Beaches

The New York State Empire Pass brings free entry to most NY state parks. No need to pay for the pass – library cardholders may borrow it from us!

This pass allows for free admission for one vehicle to any New York State park. Empire Passes are part of our Museum Pass Lending Program ― the loan period is seven days (choose the dates you want to use it!). Reserve the pass for the desired pickup date. Enjoy time at the park – hike, swim, play, and learn through new experiences! Then simply return the pass by its due date (an hour before Library closing). The pass is due 7 days after the reserved pickup date. Click here for more details and information on how to reserve a pass.

The New York State Empire Pass may be used at over 100 parks – including beaches, trails, and more – throughout the entire state. On Long Island alone, there are 27 parks that accept the pass, including Bethpage State Park, Brookhaven State Park, Caleb Smith State Park Preserve, Captree State Park, Heckscher State Park, Jones Beach State Park, Montauk Point State Park, Nissequogue River State Park, Robert Moses State Park, Sunken Meadow State Park, and many others (for a full listing of the parks that accept the pass, visit parks.ny.gov/parks/).

We’re proud to offer this ticket to the great outdoors. Get moving and get exploring, thanks to your library card!

Please note: The Empire Pass Card is a day-use vehicle entry to most facilities operated by New York State Parks and the State Department of Environmental Conservation including forests, beaches, trails and more. It is usable for all motor vehicles except those used in the business of transporting passengers for hire including public or private buses, shuttles, taxis, limousines, or other livery vehicles. It does not guarantee free vehicle entry into the park when special events occur and are operated by other organizations. It excludes camping, overnight parking, golf, museum or historic site admission and other special activity fees.

What if you could convert all of your VHS tapes to digital format without paying someone or buying a machine?

What if you could see a close up of the night stars with your family in your cozy backyard without purchasing a telescope?

What if you could scan all of your important documents in the comfort of your home without owning a scanner?

Now you can, thanks to Emma Clark Library’s “Library of Things!” We carry non-traditional items for patrons to borrow. It’s perfect for that one time use or a great way to try out a new item before deciding to purchase one for yourself. It’s also a wonderful space-saver in your home; a way to rethink whether we need goods that we rarely use. The library, in general, reduces wasted resources, and this collection will expand upon that concept. Items don’t sit around your house collecting dust or end up in the trash.

It’s not unusual for the Library to carry items beyond books (think music, movies, and museum passes), and we continue to develop this notion of the library as a place for the community. The “Library of Things” increases sharing and gives people access to equipment and gadgets without the burden of ownership. Think of it as a “tool library.” Or learning not just through books, but through experience.

Library cardholders are able to reserve items ahead of time right from here. Or they may borrow items while at the Library, as long as there is not a hold already placed on the item. Full descriptions of each item are available on the website and on the item itself.

Lending equipment is done through the Circulation Desk in the Library’s lobby. Items must be returned to the Circulation Desk (not through the book drop). Borrowers must have a valid adult Emma Clark Library card in good standing. A maximum of 2 items per library card may be borrowed at a time. Some items have a three-day loan period and others have a fourteen-day loan period.

Consume less, share more, thanks to the Library.
