Not only do libraries provide educational programs and resources, but many libraries in Central Indiana also provide a service that allows patrons to check out museum passes. We’ve compiled a list of all the participating libraries in Central Indiana and what museum passes they offer for you to enjoy.
How Do I Check Out a Museum Pass?
You’ll need to have a valid library card to the specific library offering the pass. There’s a decent chance you’ll have to wait a while for a turn with this resource, as most libraries only offer one or two of each. Use your library’s online reservation system to place a hold or simply stop by the check-out desk next time you’re in the branch. Maybe it will even be your lucky day and you’ll walk out with a museum pass!
