Pass on the Price, Not the Visit

As the dog days of Summer are upon us, you may be looking for something to do with the kids or you might be thinking ahead to those long Fall weekends that tend to sneak up on us. We at MCL have a suggestion - head to a nearby museum and save yourself some money by using one of our free museum passes.

Last October, the Lawrence Branch began offering free museum passes to library members and the program has been so popular, we are pleased to announce that we have added more passes and two other branches, Hopewell and West Windsor, have joined the program. Passes can be borrowed for three days and reserved up to 90 days in advance with a valid library card. Note that passes can be picked up and returned to the refernce desk at the Hopewell, Lawrence or West Windsor branches.

Passes are provided for free due to the generosity of the Friends of the Library groups from the Hopewell, Lawrence and West Windsor Brnaches.

New passes added for 2010-2011 include:

• American Folk Art Museum

• Children's Museum of Manhattan

• The Mutter Museum

• New York Historical Society

• The Stickley Museum at Craftsman Farms

In addition to our newer selections, we still offer passes for the American Museum of Natural History, Garden State Discovery Museum, Guggenheim, and New York City Fire Museum.

For more information, visit our website or call the Hopewell (609-737-8326), Lawrence (609-989-6922) or West Windsor (609-275-8901) Branches.
