Grand Rapids Public Library Check it out program

I've written about this before but I think it's time to bring it up again. Here's a link to their website explaining it in more detail. The basics are this - The library has two memberships to local tourist hotspots that you can check out like you would a book. It can be hard to do but worth the effort. You can also "check out" free tickets to local events. Right now you can get tickets to the opera, civic theater or ballet. You have to be a GRPL card holder though. Check out the details before bounding in and asking for tickets. You wouldn't want to waste your gas now, would you?
