Museum Pass Policy: With an adult library card, you can signup for one pass per month for each museum. However, you cannot reserve more than one museum pass a day, even for different museums.
Paper Passes are like movie tickets; they are good for the day they are stamped, and are collected by the museum upon entry.
Plastic Passes are checked out like library books, and returned the following day. They are good for the day of the week indicated on the pass. Make sure you return the pass in person, on the day indicated or you will lose your museum pass privileges for at least three months!
For more information and specific details, please see the the local branch librarians.
