Some museum passes are reserved through the museum’s website, while others are booked through the library’s website. Depending on the pass, you may be able to print it at home or need to pick it up at the library. The table below explains which option applies to each pass, including those that offer more than one choice.
- Printable Pass means you get an email with a code that you print out yourself (or show the email on your phone).
- Pickup Coupon means you come into the library and pick up a pass that doesn’t have to be returned.
- Circulating Pass means you come into the library and pick up a pass that does have to be returned.
