Museum Pass
The Museum Pass program provides customers the opportunity to visit a variety of attractions and enjoy the wonderful arts, culture and education that our area has to offer. This program is sponsored by the library and the various Friends groups associated with each location.
Some museums may be operating with certain restrictions due to COVID-19, including mask wearing and/or providing vaccination status. These requirements may frequently change, therefore it is important to visit each museum’s website for the most up to date requirements prior to reserving a pass.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many of our museum partners are now also requiring Timed Tickets for entry. A Timed Ticket must be reserved for the same date as your museum pass reservation. Once you reserve a pass on the library’s website, click the link to the museum’s website to reserve your Timed Ticket.
- You must ensure that there are time slots available from the museum’s website prior to making your museum pass reservation.
- If you arrive at the museum with a printable pass but have not reserved a Timed Ticket, you will not be admitted to the museum.
If you have reserved a printable pass however are unable to reserve a Timed Ticket for the same day, you must contact your local library to cancel your reservation and reschedule for a different date.

How do I get the pass?
- For Printable passes: These can be printed from anywhere and anytime and must be taken to the museum on the Day of Use. You do not need to pick up or return these passes to the library. Your name and the date of your reservation will appear on the pass.
- For Physical passes: These may be picked up at the library beginning at 3 pm the day prior to the “Day of Use” and must be returned by 11 am the day after the “Day of Use”. For example, if the “Day of Use” is Friday, the pass may be picked up beginning at 3 pm on Thursday through closing on Friday, and returned by 11 am on Saturday. Please check library hours of operation before picking up a pass.
- New York City passes (Museum of Modern Art) can be returned two days after the “Day of Use” to allow for extended travel time.
What happens if I do not pick up my reserved pass?
Reservations canceled the day before or the day of the “Day of Use” will be considered a No Show. Because demand for passes is extremely high, two No Shows in a 60 day period may result in a two month block on museum pass reservations.
