Passes may be reserved up to 8 weeks in advance using a Merrick Library card in good standing. Courtesy cardholders are not eligible to borrow museum passes. Each museum pass may be reserved once a month. Only one pass may be borrowed at a time by an individual or family. Cancel a reservation from your confirmation email or by contacting the library at 516-377-6112 ext. 392. We depend on patrons to cancel any reservation that they do not intend to use so that the pass will be available for the next user.
There are two types of passes:
Print on Demand: You will be sent an email with the pass. Passes can be printed at home or at the Library. These passes are only valid on the date of visit listed on the confirmation page. Not all museums will honor passes shown on a mobile device. Please print the physical pass to ensure admission to the museum.
Circulating Pass: These passes have a one-day loan period. They must be returned the day after they are borrowed. The pass may be returned in the media book drop in the envelope we provide anytime the following day. When the library is closed on Sunday, passes checked out on Saturday are due back before 9 AM on Monday. There is a $10.00 late charge for passes not returned on time. There will be an additional charge to replace a lost pass.
BEFORE BOOKING A PASS, PLEASE CHECK THE MUSEUM’S WEBSITE FOR INFORMATION ON HOURS AND CLOSINGS.
