Our Museum Pass program offers free admission to a long list of museums in the tri-state area. Borrowing a Pass is free, but you must be a Union Public Library cardholder over 18 years old in good standing. Your library card must be presented when the pass is checked out. One museum pass per household may be borrowed for three (3) days, but may not be reserved or renewed. The pass may be picked up at the Adult Services Desk at the Main Library, or with advanced notice, at the Vauxhall Branch Library. Due to limited supplies, late fees of $5 per day will be charged if Museum Passes are not returned on time.
