Museum passes borrowed from the library give you free or reduced admission to a variety of museums. Each museum has its own system, so please check on the specifics for the museum you are interested in. We encourage you to call ahead to reserve a pass for the day of your visit. Passes can be picked up the day before your museum visit and should be returned to the library on the day of your museum visit or before we open the following day. Please feel free to call or e-mail us for more information or to reserve a pass.
