Our museum passes are temporarily unavailable.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we begin the process of moving to a new provider.
The Library has a variety of passes, which allow free admission for a pre-determined number of guests, available for Adult PJFL cardholders (ages 18 and up) in good standing. See below for more information, including FAQs and instructions.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND
The Library is not responsible for venue closures and strongly advises contacting venues before reserving and borrowing passes.
Each museum sets its own restrictions and visiting guidelines and you must comply with their rules. Venues might require additional reservations, have limited hours/ services, or charge extra fees for special events or exhibits.
FAQs & Instructions
1) How do I reserve a Pass?
NOTE: All passes are reserved online. You must have a PIN/password for your library account.
Don’t have or know your PIN/password? Visit search.livebrary.com/patroninfo to create or reset one. You must have a valid email address on file, and can visit our Circulation Desk to add an email to your library account.
We recommended reserving passes well before your planned venue visit. Passes may be reserved up to 30 days in advance. The eligible borrower’s name, telephone, email address, library card number, and PIN/password will be required at the time of reservation.
- “Print at Home” Passes: reservations MUST be made for the DATE YOU WISH TO USE THE PASS.
- “Pick Up/Return at Library” Passes: reservations MUST be made for the DAY BEFORE YOUR VISIT.
If you must cancel your reservation, you may do so online until 24 hours prior to your reserved time slot. If you cancel within 24 hours of your reserved time slot, please contact the library as soon as possible so the pass can be made available to other patrons.
2) How many days can I borrow a Pass?
- “Print at Home” Passes: reserved for, and only valid on, THE DAY OF YOUR VENUE VISIT and do NOT need to be returned.
- “Pick Up/Return at Library” Passes: may be borrowed for THREE (3) DAYS, including the day it is picked up and the day it is due for return. Example– if your visit is for a Sunday, you may pick up the pass on Saturday and it would be due for return on Monday, one hour prior to the Library’s closing time. If you wish to use the pass on a day the Library is closed, it must be reserved for pick up on the day prior to the Library’s closed date and will be due the next day the Library is open.
3) How do I pick up my reserved Pass?
NOTE: The Library is not obligated to honor a reservation if the pass is not picked up on the designated reserved date. Passes not picked up on time are considered forfeited.
- “Print at Home” Passes: can be printed at home or in the library during our business hours.
- “Pick Up/Return at Library” Passes: must be checked out to the cardholder the reservation was made under and picked up at the Circulation Desk on the designated date reserved. Borrowers need to present their library card and sign a museum pass user agreement when the pass is checked out.
4) How many passes may I reserve/borrow at one time?
-
A maximum of ONE (1) PASS PER HOUSEHOLD/FAMILY may be borrowed at one time.
The same pass may not be reserved more than once per month.
5) What do I need to bring on my visit?
Borrowers must bring BOTH the physical pass/a hard copy of the printable pass and their library card.
6) When must a Pass be returned?
NOTE: If a pass is not returned on time, an extended use fee of $20 will apply for each day it is late. Passes CANNOT be renewed.
- “Print at Home” Passes: do NOT need to be returned
- “Pick Up/Return at Library” Passes: must be returned to the Circulation Desk one hour prior to Library closing on the day it is due. It is the borrower’s responsibility to know library hours and to ensure a pass is returned on time. Passes must be given to a staff member at the Circulation Desk — DO NOT LEAVE PASSES ON THE COUNTER OR IN THE BOOK DROP.
7) What if I lose or damage a Pick Up/Return at Library Pass?
As stated in the user agreement at checkout, borrowers pay the full replacement cost of any pass lost or damaged during their loan period. The borrower is also responsible for any fees/charges the Library incurs as a result of non-return of a Museum Pass, which includes – but is not limited to – entry fees for the next borrower.
