How does it work?

  • Passes are available to any Wright Library cardholder in good standing.
  • Loan periods are three days. Return the pass to the Circulation Desk or book drop. Overdue fines are $1/day. 
  • Fee for a lost pass ranges from $40-$70 (the cost of the membership). 
  • The pass covers admission to the museum, but not to special events/exhibits.


To find out if a pass is available for checkout, please call 294-7171 or visit Wright Library’s online catalog  and search for “museum pass.”
You may place a hold on a pass, but it is not possible to reserve it for a specific date.  The library will notify you when the pass is available.
You may borrow only one pass per household at any one time.

Before visiting, check the organizations' website or contact them to confirm operating hours or to learn of any special Covid limitations.
