Museum and Cultural Site 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 13 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.
