Museum Passes
The Library is happy to offer various museum passes thanks to the generous support of the Friends of the Saxton B. Little Free Library. Generally, museum passes circulate for two days, and they may be reserved ahead of time by calling or stopping in the Library.
Did you know? Your Saxton B. Little Free Library card is valid for borrowing physical items, including museum passes, from any public library in the state. If SBL doesn’t have the pass you are looking for, check with other area libraries – they just might!
Museum pass terms are subject to change. Please contact SBL with any questions.
