More Than a Building
A Henika District Library card gives you more than just what's in our building. You can access tons of resources from home or go on an adventure across the state! Explore more of what your library card has to offer below with:
The Michigan Activity Pass (MAP) is a statewide collaborative program between Michigan’s public libraries and participating partner destinations. MAP provides Michigan library cardholders the opportunity to discover and learn more about participating cultural destinations, parks, campgrounds, and recreation areas in Michigan at a discounted rate. Patrons may check out one MAP pass per library card every 7 days.
When you check out a MAP pass, you have 7 days from the date it was reserved to use it. Visit miactivitypass.org to learn about all of the places your library card can take you!
