BORROW A FAMILY PASS
Thanks to the generosity of the Friends of the Mount Vernon Public Library
- Who may borrow a museum pass?
Family museum passes are available to Mount Vernon Public Library cardholders who are over the age of 18 and in good standing. Only one pass per family may be borrowed at a time.
- How can I borrow a museum pass?
Museum passes are loaned from the Children’s Reference Desk. The person borrowing a museum pass must present his/her own valid library card to the Children’s Reference Librarian, and sign a museum pass loan agreement. Children under eighteen may not borrow museum passes for their parents.
- Can I reserve a museum pass in advance?
Yes. Passes may be reserved within 30 days at the Children’s Reference Desk, in person or by phone at (914-668-1840×211). A family may have only one reservation for a museum pass at any one time. The Children’s Reference Desk should be contacted at least 24 hours in advance to cancel a reservation.
- How long can I keep a museum pass?
Passes are reserved for 3 days and two nights: one day to check out the pass, one day to visit the museum and one day to return the pass. If the Library is not open on the third day, the pass must be returned on the next day the Library is open. A fee of $10.00 will be charged each day that the pass is late. Passes may not be renewed.
- Can I return a museum pass to the book drop, or another Westchester library?
No. Passes must be returned in person to the Mount Vernon Public Library Reference Desk, at least thirty minutes before the Library’s regular closing time. A fee of $10 will be charged for passes returned to the book drop, and $30 for passes returned to other libraries.
- What if I lose a museum pass?
Please don’t, as they are expensive. To help you hold on to the pass, the Library will lend it to you inside of a badge holder, which you can wear around your neck. You will be charged the full replacement cost of the pass if it is lost.
