Museum Passes
Thanks to generous donations by the Friends of the Canton Public Library, we are able to offer passes to many museums and cultural sites. Passes allow a designated number of people to visit various attractions for free or for reduced rates. Passes may be borrowed just as one would check out a book. All you need is a valid public library card from any town or city in Connecticut.
We invite you to borrow one of our passes. Please note the following loan information:
- Any patron age 18 or over may borrow a pass at the Circulation Desk.
- Families may borrow only 1 pass per site at once, but they may borrow passes for up to 2 separate sites at the same time.
- Passes may be reserved up to 3 months in advance of the date of borrowing.
- Borrowing patrons must abide by the conditions set forth by each institution on its pass.
- Passes are charged out for 3 library business days (Sundays excluded). There is an overdue fine of $5.00 per day per pass if they are returned late.
- If a pass is lost or stolen, the borrower will be held responsible for the full cost of replacing the pass.
For questions or to reserve a pass, call the library at 693-5800.
