The Library offers a pass program for nearby museums and nature centers at all eight branches.  Check out a pass and you and your family or friends can attend one of the attractions listed below with no admission charge. Please check with the branch to confirm availability.  

Please check museum websites for hours and entry policies before your visit.

How can I check out a museum pass?

Adult cardholders in good standing (with less than $5 in fees) may check out up to one museum pass at a time.  A museum pass must be returned to the same branch it was checked out from.

How long can I have a museum pass for?

Museum passes can be checked out for up to four days and cannot be renewed.  The extended use fee is $5 per day for every day that it’s late, up to the full cost of the pass.  You’re responsible for the full cost of any lost or stolen passes.

Can I reserve or put a hold on a museum pass?

You can call the branch you wish to check out a museum pass from to reserve it through the end of that day.
