Reserving a Museum Pass
Passes may be borrowed by Hillsdale Free Public Library library card holders who are 18 years of age or older.
Reserve a museum pass for the date you will pick it up at the library. Passes are loaned for three (3) days with no renewals. Passes must be returned to the main desk before the end of the third day during normal business hours. Days that the library is closed (Sundays and holidays) do not count toward the three days.
Passes may be reserved up to 90 days in advance.
A deposit is no longer required to borrow a museum pass. Failure to return a pass to the library by the end of the third day will incur a late fee of $10 per day. After seven (7) days, a patron must pay the full replacement cost of the pass.
The Hillsdale Free Public Library makes no guarantee that a museum pass will be available on the reserved day if prior borrowers fail to return a pass on time.
The American Museum of Natural History does not offer multi-use passes. AMNH issues redeemable vouchers. The library has a limited number of vouchers. One voucher may be reserved per Hillsdale library card holder, per year. (i.e. If there are multiple members within a family, all must have a valid library card in order to reserve separate vouchers). Juvenile cards may be used to reserve vouchers. If you are a Woodcliff Lake resident with a Hillsdale Library membership, please contact the library for additional information.
The Museum Pass program is funded by the Hillsdale Free Public Library Foundation through the generous gift of Gayle and Paul Gross.
