KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) – The Knox County Public Library announced a partnership with Zoo Knoxville Thursday that allows cardholders to check out passes to the Zoo.
Any adult with a card in good standing can check out a pass, called the Read City Explorer Pass. The Zoo is providing 20 passes per week for households of up to two adults and six children. Cardholders can check out two passes per year, the announcement said.
“We are very pleased to be able to offer this service to families. Like checking out a book, being able to check out an experience such as a trip to the Zoo can be enlightening and educational for children and families,” Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs said. “It’s important that we can expose our families to all the great assets in our community. We are looking forward to this great partnership with Zoo Knoxville.”
