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.
