Museum Pass Guidelines

Mahwah Public Library Museum Pass Lending Guidelines

The Library is pleased to present our Museum Pass Program. Adult (18 years +) Mahwah Public Library cardholders in good standing may borrow museum passes for three days. All pass reservations are processed via our MuseumKey webpage. Patrons can access this page directly or can call a reference librarian to reserve passes. Please call ahead before visiting museums to verify their hours of operation.

Holds

1.  Reserve passes up to 60 days in advance through our website or by asking any reference librarian in person or by phone.
2.  Failure to pick up a pass at the reserved time will result in a canceled reservation and the pass being given to the next person in line.
3.  Patrons who have reserved and not picked up passes after two occurrences will be unable to borrow any museum pass for 6 months.
4.  American Museum of Natural History vouchers are limited to two vouchers per household every 12 months.
