How can I check out a Culture Pass?

Each library location has a Culture Pass display. Take the pass you want to the library service desk to check it out. You will receive a receipt that will grant you free admission for two people at the participating location.

Culture Passes for museums and similar venues do not include admission to special exhibitions or events, only general admission.

Please note that you cannot check out Culture Passes at any of our self-check machines.

When does my Culture Pass expire?

Culture Passes expire seven days after they are checked out. For example, if you check out a Culture Pass on a Monday, it will be valid through the following Monday. It will no longer be valid on the following Tuesday.

How often can I check out a Culture Pass?

You may only check out one pass at a time and only two passes per month.

Can I place a hold on a Culture Pass?

Passes are available on a first-come, first-served basis and cannot be renewed or placed on hold.
