Teen's BlogMuseum Pass Policy
The Howard Whittemore Library offers passes for free or reduced admission to museums and other attractions around the state. Museum passes may only be borrowed by adults with library cards that do not have blocks.
The passes are available on a first come first serve basis. Only one pass may be checked out to a household at any given time and must be returned prior to borrowing another. Passes may be borrowed for three (3) days and must be returned to the Children’s Department of the Library by closing on the due date. Passes may not be returned in the book drop.
There is a $10.00 per day late charge for passes not returned on time. Any Library cardholder who loses a pass will be charged a $175.00 replacement cost for that museum pass.
