Museum Passes Return

POLICIES REGARDING MUSEUM PASS BORROWING HAVE CHANGED TO ACCOMMODATE THE INSTITUTIONS’ COVID-ERA PROCEDURES. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION THOROUGHLY.

Lee Memorial Library gratefully acknowledges the support of the Friends of the Library in providing complimentary entrance to area museums and cultural institutions, and we encourage our residents to support the Friends’ fundraising efforts on the library’s behalf.

Allendale residents may pick up vouchers for FREE general admission to the following museums:

American Museum Of Natural History (Ignore strikeout – tickets ARE available!)

The Brooklyn Botanic Garden

The Guggenheim

The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum

Museum of the Dog – American Kennel Club

Museum of Modern Art

New-York Historical Society

Storm King Art Center

Who is eligible to check out museum passes? 

  • Allendale card holders age 18+ who are in good standing (no fines).
  • Museum passes are restricted to one per HOUSEHOLD (not per card) during a check out period – strictly enforced.

How can I reserve a pass?

  • To accommodate the need for timed-entry tickets, contract tracing information and other requirements implemented by the museums, passes are currently available on a first come, first served basis and CANNOT BE RESERVED.

What is required to check out a museum pass? 

  • A valid library card.
  • All passes, except for the American Museum of Natural History, require a $40 cash deposit.

*The deposit is refunded when the pass is returned on time and in good condition during normal library business hours. Passes may NOT be returned in the book drop. If the pass is returned late, the entire $40 deposit will be forfeited. If the pass is not returned within seven days, the full replacement cost of the pass will be charged to the card holder.

Will the library request timed-entry passes for me?

  • The museums prohibit library staff from making reservations on behalf of others. It is solely the responsibility of the patron to be aware of the requirements for entry, which vary from museum to museum. Visit the museum web site for details prior to checking out a pass.
