Museum Pass Policy

A museum pass can be borrowed by a Scotch Plains resident adult cardholder in good standing. The lending period for museum passes is three (3) days. Passes must be returned to a staff member at the Adult Services desk during normal library hours. They must not be returned in the book drop. 

An overdue fine of $10 will be charged per day. On the 7th day after the due date, the pass will be considered lost, and the cardholder will be charged the full replacement cost, which varies by museum.

Museum passes should be reserved in advance, and they must be picked up promptly on the reservation date at the Adult Services desk. 

It is the cardholder’s responsibility to be aware of any museum updates on hours, exhibits, and any other special procedures. Museums may require or encourage timed-entry tickets, so please check with the museum before your visit.

Each museum pass has distinct criteria regarding how many people are covered by the pass and whether there are any additional benefits. These are outlined in our list of museums and in the case for each pass. 

There is a limit of one pass per card. We ask that, as a courtesy to fellow residents, cardholders wait 30 days before borrowing the same museum pass again.
