Museum
Passes are loaned for a 24 hour period only. Farmington Library cardholders may book passes in advance. Out of town patrons may borrow a pass if it is available at the time of their visit (no prebookings).
Sponsored by The Friends of the Farmington Library
Thanks to Friends of the Farmington Library funding, it is possible for the library to make available a wide variety of museum passes to our patrons. The passes can be checked out for 1 day (overnight) with a library card. Each individual museum determines how many people its pass will admit and what days and times it can be used. Please check with staff for details when booking any museum pass. Only Farmington Library cardholders are allowed to book ahead museum passes. We encourage Farmington cardholders to reserve a pass in advance, to ensure that it is available when needed. Nonresidents may check out passes when not booked by Farmington residents. Please return the pass promptly as others may be waiting for it. Passes must be returned to the main library on Monteith Drive.
The Friends of the Farmington Library support the library in a variety of ways. For more information about the Friends, or to request a membership form, call the library at 673-6791.
