Museum Passes
The library has passes and discount coupons available for the following museums. Patrons may reserve the pass for one museum per day, and can make a new reservation after that pass is picked up. There is only one pass (though the pass may be good for multiple admissions) available for each museum every day, so please make your reservation as soon as your plans are final! Popular days, such as weekends, holidays and school vacations, go quickly. Passes may be picked up the morning of the reservation or the night before.
Reservations may be made in person, over the phone or online. A valid library card is required to make a reservation.
