Want to go to the local zoo or children's museum for free or at a reduced cost?  Want to save money on admission to your local family fun attraction?  Look no further than your local library.  Most libraries have free passes to area attractions and all they require is that you hold a library card.  Some libraries have "friends of the library" programs that require a small yearly fee to utilize the passes.  Call your local library and find out what passes they hold and their policy of lending.  It is a fantastic way to have fun on a budget.
