MUSEUM PASSES Ask about our MUSEUM PASSES! How Do I Get a Museum Pass? You may reserve a pass by calling the library. Passes may be borrowed by residents with a valid adult East Hartford Public Library card. Non residents are allowed to check out passes, providing they present a current adult public library card from their town or city library. Only one pass per adult library card is allowed. When Does the Museum Pass Need to be Returned? The museum pass is charged out for 2 days. The pass can be returned up to the closing of the library on the second day. A TEN DOLLAR security deposit (cash only) is taken when the pass is loaned. If the pass is returned late, the library keeps the security deposit. There is a fine of $10.00 per day if the pass is not returned. Should I Call the Museum for Hours and Fees? Yes. Museums will often change their hours or increase fees. Passes may not cover the total cost of admission. It is a good idea to call the museum you are interested in ahead of time, or check their website for the most up-to-date information.
