Museum Passes

Museum passes are lent to New Hartford residents for up to three days and must be returned on the day they are due before the library opens.  The pass may be dropped in the bookdrop outside the library.  Passes may not be renewed.  There is a fine of $10 a day for passes not returned on time.  If the pass is lost or stolen, the charge will be the total price of the pass. You may reserve a pass by visiting or calling the library. All passes are funded in full by BookFriends.
