Do You Have Museum Passes?

Do you have museum passes?  It’s a frequently asked question here at the library, especially during school vacation and in the summer.  The short answer is, “No.” But don’t despair, because you’ll love the longer answer!

Basically, because we’re such a small town, buying the library passes from the museums simply doesn’t make sense — they’re expensive annual subscriptions that are only available at fixed prices, so we pay for them whether they get used or not. But we’ve got a better idea.  In 2009, we started a new program that reimbursed patrons based on a discounts schedule that varied from museum to museum.  Today, we’ve made a good idea even better — simply give us the receipt from your museum visit and we’ll reimburse you half off your total ticket cost.

Now the most frequently asked question at the library may be from us to you: “Which museum are you going to visit first?”
